In this episode of Red Roots Radio, host Greg and regular contributor Jonathon Chavez tackle the alarming issue of media control. We'll discuss how Donald Trump is attacking free media and freedom of speech by selectively choosing which journalists are allowed to cover his addresses. This tactic is a classic first step in the fascism playbook—controlling the media to manipulate public perception and silence dissent.
We'll emphasize the importance of supporting independent journalists, especially if larger news outlets start succumbing to pressure from Trump. It's vital to stay informed through diverse and unbiased sources to ensure we get the full picture.
Moreover, we'll discuss why it's essential to defend freedom of speech and press, even when we don't agree with the viewpoints being expressed. Censorship affects us all, and protecting these freedoms is crucial for a healthy democracy.
Join us for an urgent conversation that underscores the need for vigilance and activism in defending our rights. 🌐🗣️
