This week, on the Global Research News Hour we will be examining the changes to the way journalism is practiced in the world today, its toxic effect on the quality of news, and the multiple instances of independent sites being misrepresented as putting forward "fake news". Our first guest, veteran journalist of high acclaim John Pilger will assess how the space for exceptional work, simply isn’t there anymore and how even in the presence of full information, it is taking us to a place beyond the propaganda level of 1930s Germany. Then we will get word from Max Blumenthal of TheGrayZone about how they were targeted for de-platforming and found that they had exposed their accusers as in fact a state intelligence operation.
