Hi everybody, Cheryl Ackison here, welcome to another edition of the Cheryl Ackison Podcast.

Today I'm on the road finishing my European trip shooting stories for the upcoming season

of full measure.

I'll also talk today about the heavy hand of Google censorship.

A lot of you probably know that one of the things I've written about the most is the

heavy hand of censorship and the invisible hands that are shaping this censorship and

our information landscape, manipulating it.

A big part of that, as you know, is big tech.

Talking about Google, Twitter, Facebook, not to mention Wikipedia, Snopes and many others.

These entities are working hand in hand with political and corporate interests to try

to make sure you do see certain information and that you don't see or don't believe other

information, even though oftentimes that's the information that's true and the information

that they're letting you see is false.

It's gotten so blatant that I think a pretty good percentage of the population, the thinking

people who are paying attention to this sort of thing, they figured it out.

They know that when a so-called fact check is conducted particularly by one of the usual

suspects and when it finds that something is not true or not proven, that oftentimes

you should consider that probably is the proven or the true thing because that's how

it turns out so often.

And besides the obvious overt censorship, they have all kinds of sneaky ways that they can

influence the information landscape in ways you wouldn't have thought about a few years

ago.
