THE government’s “blacklisting” of investigative journalism site Declassified UK was an "institutional reflex,” according to an independent review.
Former Downing Street spokesman Tom Kelly, who carried out the government-commissioned review, found that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) labelled Declassified “a hostile website.”
A military officer on loan to the MoD press office suggested in July that the website “should be put on a list of organisations which the department would not engage with, or rarely engage with, because it was not considered a reputable source of news,” Mr Kelly found.
At the very moment Britain faces poverty, housing and climate crises requiring radical solutions, the liberal press promotes ideologically narrow books while marginalising authors who offer the most accurate understanding of change, writes IAN SINCLAIR
