Channel: Mark Taylor-Canfield
Date: 27/06/2023

Journalist/musician Mark Taylor-Canfield talks with TV/radio host  
Jeff Santos Show about the control of US news media by corporate monopolies. At the time of this video the US was ranked 45th on the World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders - one of the most self-censored news stories of all time! No corporate and most community and public media networks refuse to report on this news story. MTC talks about the reasons for loss of press freedom in the United States and potential legislative and public policy solutions. As Executive Director for Democracy Watch News he briefed Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and her staff on these issues. Most members of the US Congress are completely ignorant of the loss of press freedom and the continuing drop in the US ranking on the World Press Freedom Index.
