you'd have to be doing a lot of heavy drugs to deny such things are happening here in the empire as well;

 A former executive on British television confirmed that mainstream media (MSM) outlets are prevented from questioning the official government narrative. He also denounced these outlets for being “cheerleaders” for the government instead of upholding the tenets of journalism.

Mark Sharman, former Sky News executive and ITV producer, made these revelations during an interview on “The HighWire.” Citing an example from his homeland, Sharman told program host Del Bigtree that the British Office of Communications (Ofcom) is responsible for keeping television stations in line with what the government wants to hear.

Bigtree played a short clip of the TV executive during his March 20 interview with talk show host Dan Wootton.

“[Ofcom issued] a warning – actually, it’s like a little bulletin – that basically says ‘Do not question the official government line.’ To be fair, [it] said you can have opposition voices on, but … you must intervene if there’s any danger of harmful misinformation,” Sharman said at the time.

“I think that warning affected all broadcasters. Most of the major [ones] followed; only one or two smaller [broadcasters] got caught. One community radio was censored for putting something out. I think it’s created an environment which will lead to the biggest assault on freedom of speech and democracy I’ve known in my lifetime.”.......read more......
