We have to find people who are doing the actual work of journalism and we don't have to accept everything they say on every subject, but if they're doing the work, that's who we should be reading and taking seriously.
Imagine arriving at an airport only to be met by counter-terror police, not because you're a threat, but because of your work as a journalist. This is exactly what happened to Kit Klarenberg, a writer for The Grayzone, and the guest on this episode of 'Trish Wood is Critical'. Klarenberg recounts his harrowing experience at London’s Luton airport where six counter-terror officers detained him. They interrogated him extensively and confiscated his digital gear and SD cards. His crime?
Questioning NATO's Ukraine War policy and being suspected of having sympathies towards Russia. Trish Wood dives into the chilling reality of how independent journalists are being targeted for uncovering truths that global elites prefer to keep hidden. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who values freedom of the press and the pursuit of truth.
Klarenberg's story is not just about one man's ordeal; it's about the broader implications for journalism and the lengths to which authorities will go to silence dissenting voices. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that underscores the importance of supporting independent journalism in these turbulent times.
