Chris Hedges: Why America’s smartest are being silenced
RT America on May 2, 2019
Chris Hedges, host of “On Contact” on RT America, joins Rick Sanchez to discuss the falling ratings on establishment networks. He argues that news consumers feel as though “the reality show is over” and that corporate media will have to find a “new trick” if they want viewers to reengage. He points out that “salacious gossip” and “the chattering classes barking at each other” are not actual journalism.
