Our thanks to Jim for this. He writes:
Mike, have you been wondering why articles you publish never appear in Google searches or why mainstream media ignore your publications or your comments immediately disappear? Why the only news published now is left-wing or reflects only Marxist Feminist ideology? Now you know why. The Trusted News Initiative founded by the BBC controls what you see and what you don’t see. Outrageous that UK taxpayers are funding the BBC to stifle and kill free speech. The Free Speech Union should join the lawsuit or launch an equivalent one here in the UK.
The BBC describes the Trusted News Initiative news cartel as follows:
The Trusted News Initiative is a partnership, founded by the BBC, that includes organisations from around the globe including AP, AFP, BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Financial Times, Information Futures Lab, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, The Nation Media Group, Meta/Facebook, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post, Kompas – Indonesia, Dawn – Pakistan, Indian Express, NDTV – India, ABC – Australia, SBS – Australia, NHK – Japan.
