(Activist Post)

By Naomi Gilens and Jillian C. York

Censorship is how those in charge control public discourse – and we allow it by not educating ourselves about the facts — March 31, 2018

(Natural News) Censorship is very much in the news, with the latest example being the effort by the progressive movement to silence pro-Trump Fox News host Laura Ingraham after a petty social media dustup with a Parkland high school student who champions gun control.
