(2/3)

The BBC broadcast censored an artistic statement at a huge, long-running arts event. They've even been attacked for not censoring another one on the same issue at the same event. If BBC agree to broadcast Glastonbury, and the programmers there decide it's legitimate to platform Bob Vylan or KneeCap, that's not for the BBC to judge or censor.

If you don't want to broadcast it, fine. Beep F-bombs if you must. But you don't get to pick and choose based on ideology or political expediency.

Thinking some more on the artistic freedom of #Glastonbury and its performers, and the press freedom #BCC has to broadcast whatever truly goes down, without fear or favour. Whether or not it has the spine to use it.

Legacy media clearly haven't learned the lesson that Indymedia and other online news networks started teaching them after 9/11. If you fail to report on something, your lies of omission will be exposed. Everyone knows BBC censored Glastonbury, and exactly what it was they omitted.

And here we go: wishing death upon a genocidal army is apparently a hate crime now.

"...now the establishment is in meltdown because they have lost control of the narrative. Anti-Zionism is cool, the youth know how badly we have been lied to about Israel, and no matter how much censorship comes next, no matter how many prosecutions we see, you aren't putting that toothpaste back in the tube."
