K “The U.S. is being the U.S. again and funding a ‘blacklist’ of journalists and commentators who ask hard questions and demand honest answers. The U.S./Ukraine ‘Enemies List’ list includes individuals who are on the short list for a Pushitzer Prize and for the highly coveted Cameo In Courage Award.”
J “I disapprove of what they say, but I will defend to the death their right to say it.”

[See the “US Should Not Fund Ukrainian ‘Blacklist’” reprinted in “Consortium News” dated July 27, 2022 by Scott Ritter.]
[Take some time reading and reflecting on the e-commentary six years ago on the concerted attacks on independent journalists at A “Journalist” Declares War On Journalists . . . And Journalism (November 28, 2016) and Dispatches From The War On Journalism: The New “Nixon’s Enemies List” (December 5, 2016). See the propaganda war waged by even NPR at N. Propaganda R. Transcribed: “Get Vaccinated. Attack Russia.” Oh, And Happy Presidents’ Day! (February 21, 2022) and Washington Wants War In The Worst Way: Dust Off The IOSAT Or Return To The Status Quo Ante Bellum? (January 24, 2022).]
