This is exactly what the mainstream news media is doing in the United States . Even on line college newspapers seem to be under the censorship of the shadow government of the American ruling class. Now and then - less frequently than I do on the World Socialist Web Site- I would comment on some article of interest to any long-time socialist in the Brown Daily Herald. No one comment of mine was ever REMOVED . But then very abruptly I learned that I was " BANNED FROM THE BROWN DAILY HERALD ". I could not get an explanation from their editor . But I am inclined to think I expressed one too many opinions offensive to staff CIA protégés .

" Radical Ron " has also been BANNED ON ABC NEWS ON LINE . But first they did REMOVE every comment I made not flattering to the state of Israel . No literate reader would detect a whiff of anti-Semitism in my comments -all of which I have recorded.
The World Socialist Web Site has for months now reported on the NEW CENSORSHIP . It does go well beyond social media .
IDEAS have other channels besides the bourgeois news media. We working class people often just TALK to one another.
