Men det är uppenbart att det är bara en version som är ”demokratisk”.
Apparently, it wasn’t enough for the European Union to block access to media outlets on TV and radio, and demand that YouTube and all social media restrict access to them across Europe. Now, with a ninth round of sanctions, they’ve frozen the assets and funds of various media outlets, including RT’s parent company ANO TV-Novosti.
“Through its subordinate media outlets, including RT, it spread pro-Kremlin propaganda and disinformation, and supported Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine,” according to the new sanctions announcement.
And here I thought that some of us were just relentlessly mocking the ineptitude and mismanagement of the European Union, joking about how “democratic” the EU likes to think it is even as it sends out European Commission President, “queen” Ursula von der Leyen to tell the plebeians who never voted for her how they have to stick it to Russian President Vladimir Putin by shivering and starving all winter, and just generally trying to help the public understand the discreet interests behind some of the moves being made by Western countries which would otherwise be incomprehensible to the average rationally thinking person. It’s the kind of thing that many of us have been doing across a whole range of highly prominent Western media outlets our entire careers. But the EU sees it differently when the outlet that gives those voices a platform happens to be Russian, alleging without any specific details or qualification that the media outlet “supported, materially or financially, actions which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.” By covering and commenting on the news? Really? Or is it just that anything that challenges the official narrative coming out of the EU — and could potentially lead to Europeans focusing the blame for their own suffering on their own elected officials and supranational overlords — has to be censored? That may work for a while, but not forever. As former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”
