Check out the stomach-churning hypocrisy as free-speech warrior Rachel Maddow interviews Professor Tim Snyder re the abduction of blogger Roman Protasevich.
It's just an awful thing, isn't it, that an authoritarian state like Belarus, inspired of course by Putin and Trump, would resort to the use of force to silence its critics?
Shocking! The very foundations of the Free Word are threatened when critical voices are silenced... blah blah blah!
This is shameless ruling-class myopia on full display. The same Western democracies that have connived for over ten years to silence Julian Assange now feign umbrage over Lukashenko's attempt to silence one of his critics.
What should be truly frightening is that vast swathes of the US pubic are so poorly informed they don't even realize when their betters are bullshitting them.
