New study reports massive pro-censorship efforts from broadcast news networks

A new study from the Media Research Center released on Tuesday, show broadcast news networks favored stories about censorship when compared to the issue of free speech. 

The report followed several recent instances of major tech platforms such as Facebook, Google, and YouTube limiting and censoring information regarding millions of COVID-19 related posts. Most notably, YouTube announced in September that the company would step up in efforts to limit and ban videos that spread "misinformation" regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.

"The increased censorship received positive coverage on broadcast evening news. Pro-censorship stories and mentions outnumbered those supporting free speech 12-to-0 on network evening news. Much of that coverage focused on network support for President Joe Biden’s push to restrain Coronavirus content," the report states.
