Progressive journalists Chris Hedges & Matt Taibbi discuss media censorship of the explosive Biden emails, & the Intercept censors Glenn Greenwald. Such censorship has gone on for years on Palestine… e.g. the most famous woman journalist was erased from history for reporting on Palestine, and Grace Halsell’s 1970s exposé on Israeli torture of Palestinians was suppressed…
