Almost every paragraph in the article is either wrong, slanted or incomplete. Any article discussing CRT without mentioning it's Marxist roots in CT is simply Marxist propaganda, including this article.

The article fails to mention that the “censored” outlets are state-owned. In that frame, this looks like standard proportional military action.

  >The article fails to mention that the “censored” outlets are state-owned. That is not strictly true. Either that the FAIR article fails to acknowledge state ownership or that all of the media outlets are state owned. The article acknowledges Press TV is an "Iranian state broadcaster". It also refers to RTS as a "Serbian state broadcaster". It doesn't say RT America, Abu Dhabi TV, or Al Jazeera are state media, but one could charitably assume this is because it's common knowledge. As to non-governmental media, it looks like all of the ones that are specifically mentioned in this article are state owned, but if you follow the link near the beginning, it has some others which seem not to be, e.g. LuaLua TV or Al Masirah. The article does seem to concentrate on state-owned media, and to imply that impeding them or requiring people to register as foreign agents is an assault on free speech, which may not be a view that can get much traction with the American public.

Well, with the internet putting pressure on the msm propaganda model described in Manufacturing Consent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent, this is really an improvement. Now we know what speech scares the bully.
