one of the things we all should be aware of is the RSF index
toward the top are generally places where you would want to live
have a look at the bottom of that list

As Hedges points out (and has in the past) there is plenty of propaganda in the NYT (and other Western media) on a daily basis, however those won't/can't get silenced.
I would hope Hedges' point here is not that they should be silenced, but that no one should.
Serves as a warning: if you are creating content don't let the platform hosting it be your only archive.
Yes, it's ambiguous wording. I could presume that "entire video archive" means every video he's ever been associated with (in entirety), not just his RT show. It seems like deception by omission, but maybe I just take words like "entire" more literally than I ought to.
RT has been cancelled and that means shows with Hedges, Lee Camp, Shatner, etc. vanished down the memory hole.
He talked about Hedges' "entire video archive" which presumably means this. 300+ episodes he made for RT.
Hedges has no other account or other show that I know off, but obviously there are plenty of videos left with talks/lectures by him, or interviews with him by others. Those, however, are not his content.
The website of the Current Time, a Russian TV channel launched by the
U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that has been critical of
the Kremlin, became unavailable Sunday after the channel reported
receiving a notification from the authorities.

The tweet from Steven Donziger is clearly misleading (deliberate or not) in not mentioning RT at all, and inaccurately claiming that all of Hedges' content had been blocked - or as you put it, it was: "meant to enrage and upset without clearly explaining the reason".
Except that's not what he said.

RT isn't showing anything that doesn't attack the US or attempt to make it look weak. Hedges may have had some incredibly valid points on his shows, but he is guilty of propaganda by his association with RT.
Hedges mentions RT upfront in his post, but the tweet conveniently ignores that and subtlely re-directs the censorship for the reader at Hedges and not RT. The tweet is meant to enrage and upset without clearly explaining the reason for the removal from YouTube. It works....which is why roughly half of one political party in the US still believes the election in 2020 was stolen.

true, but they do get exposed and we can still call them out
authoritarian regimes? not so much

I thought Lara Logan was a pretty good journalist for many years. Now she seems to have lost touch with reality. People change, or at least their focus does as they change jobs/employers.

Do you know if this is the good...non-propaganda stuff that RT puts out? If they (RT) are blocked for propaganda, they're blocked.
Arguing censorship on total BS is a bit like suggesting Twitter censored Trump because they didn't keep the 4 tweets where Trump told the truth.
For the record, for some reason, Mr. Hedges doesn't list his 6 years on RT in his bio...
Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years for The New York Times, where he served as the Middle East Bureau Chief and Balkan Bureau Chief for the paper. He previously worked overseas for The Dallas Morning News, The Christian Science Monitor, and NPR. He is the host of show The Chris Hedges Report.
i appreciated hedges work as a war correspondent early in his career
How many Fully FDA approved drugs were subsequently withdrawn and taken off the market?
dozens / hundreds?
all previous pandemic drugs have been withdrawn
this is no different, eventually they will prohibit use of these vaccines that were designed (in 24 hours, remember!) For a specific 2019 Chinese coronavirus.
you gonna keep getting your tickets for an old touring concert that isn't even around anymore?
actually, this is an ongoing experiment, each batch is hand crafted for experimental goodness, each batch has widely different side effect outcomes. Several websites let you plug in your batch info and it gives you every reported adverse reaction that doctors and health workers documented, from VAERS and the European and UK adverse report databases, for your batch, usually it's just a few towns that get each batch.
Oh and these hand crafted batches are not even FDA approved, they came in via the EUA, and the submitted documents they don't want to release. But you'll be fine.
It's my understanding that YouTube has apparently blocked (or is in the process of blocking) all RT content, including Hedges' "On Contact" archive - which was distributed by RT. They did not just single him out and they have not blocked out his other "non-RT' videos. They already blocked RT, Sputnik, and other Russian state-owned-media content in Europe last week. I doubt much of his program was overt "Russian propaganda" but it was carried by RT, which seems to be the reason that content is blocked. It doesn't seem like a very logical idea to me, but there it is.
