American media is worse. They are staffed by political thugs and bureaucrats “managing state approved public information”.

“European Union = Fourth Reich”

I agree. Someone on FR used to call it the ‘FEUrth Reich” and would post a Nazi era poster with the swastikas all replaced with the EU circle of stars.

Truth in labeling.

No, that is when is was founded over 30 years ago.

Today it is run by Alpac Capitol who owns 97% of it.

“Alpac Capital has two Founding and Managing Partners: Pedro Vargas David and Luis Santos. They are both alumni from the Economics degree at Universidade Nova and former McKinsey & Company consultants.
Pedro Vargas David, CEO, was also Former Head of Strategy of Jerónimo Martins and holds an MBA from Instead and Executive education from Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School. Luis Santos, who worked at Mckinsey for 9 years, in Europe, South America and Asia.

The whole place is McKinsey and stinks to high heaven of CIA.

So?

They’ll eventually define any news outlet they don’t like as “Russia Propaganda.”

It’s what they do.

You either believe in freedom of speech or you believe in shutting the people up you don’t like.

There is no third door.

“Propaghanda” is the expressing of views not in alignment with those of the current politicians in power.

Typical of disgusting totalitarian neocons to love censorship abroad and right here at home. Neocons and fake conservative RINOs are evil leftists.

Banning state media from an hostile nation is a rational act...even if it’s the Europeans doing it.

Case in point:

So you don’t believe in free speech. Congratulations.

“The same people are going after AfD also.”

AfD is a threat to the European elites. Just like Donald Trump is.

A detail that many people miss is that AfD is strongly supported by Turkic Germans who oppose both liberalism and Islamic extremism.

Reminds me of Mika Brzezinski saying, “Elon is trying to control how people think. That is our job.””

Same for PBS, BBC, Deutsche Welle, France 24, etc etc. All state funded and controlled.

It was hilarious when Elon Musk gave PBS a “state owned ad controlled media” label. They blew a cork.
