Summary
Today on Rumble, Michael talks with Mickey Huff and Andy Lee Roth of Project Censored, an organization who, since 1976, has each year compiled a list of stories ignored or covered up by the corporate media. They also act as advocates for journalists and those who must fight to bring us the truth.

Also, Michael started off Black History Month by sharing one of the songs on his Pandemic Playlist, the 2016 hip-hop hit "White Privilege II," by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, featuring Jamila Woods. It’s a complicated, audacious track that wrestles with our (white people’s) own white privilege and complicity in an America that is not equal for everyone. Read his comments here (which include a chance meeting with Chris Rock).

| 0:30.0 | That's why I use this platform and I encourage you to download the free anchor app or go to anchor.fm |
| 0:38.4 | and get started. I can't tell you how many people I've heard from, from you. |

| 1:08.9 | Hello everyone. This is Rumble with Michael Moore and I am Michael Moore. |
| 1:13.6 | I'm so glad to have you all here with me today. We're in February now. |
| 1:20.7 | So I don't know what that means exactly except it is Black History Month. That's a good thing. |

| 1:33.4 | On today's episode, I'm going to have with me the people that put together the annual |

| 1:48.6 | organization. They've been doing this since 1976 where each year they put out the stories |
| 1:56.2 | that just didn't get the coverage, the exposure to the general public that they should have received. |
| 2:02.8 | They didn't receive it in large part because our corporate media has sometimes a different agenda |
| 2:10.7 | than the one that you and I have. So today, on today's episode, we're going to hear the stories that |
| 2:17.6 | they didn't want you to hear so much this year. So stay tuned for this. I'm looking forward to it. |
