Censorship and Propaganda in Media Discourse

This chapter explores the complexities of the First Amendment as it relates to access to information and foreign propaganda, specifically focusing on the case of RT, a Russian state-funded outlet. It critiques the U.S. government's justifications for censorship and double standards in handling foreign influence, particularly in the context of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Additionally, it highlights the role of corporate media and lobbying in shaping public narratives, raising concerns about media objectivity and representation of dissenting opinions.
