\u201cQed nitkellmu dwar biljuni li, jidher, Brussell g\u0127andu l-intenzjoni li jintefa\u2018\u2014ming\u0127ajr ebda veru supervi\u017cjoni demokratika\u2014f'infrastruttura \u0121dida ta\u2019 \u010bensura u propaganda. Ta\u0127t il-maskra ta' 'protezzjoni tad-demokrazija', qed tin\u0127oloq magna kbira ta' sussidji g\u0127all-pjattaformi u l-midja li huma favur il-gvern, filwaqt li l-vu\u010bijiet kriti\u010bi jibqg\u0127u esklu\u017ci.<\/p>\n
Li issa mistennija li l-kontribwenti Ewropej jimlew il-vojt li \u0127alla l-qtug\u0127 ta\u2018 USAID huwa insulta g\u0127al kull min jemmen fid-diversit\u00e0 vera tal-midja. Il-Brusselli jippretendi li jidde\u010biedi liema informazzjoni hija \u2019tajba\u2018 jew \u2019\u0127a\u017cina\u2018, liema midja huma \u2019\u0127ielsa\u2018 u liema huma \u2019propaganda'. Billi tag\u0127mel hekk, l-UE qed t\u0127alli b'mod definitivu s-suq liberu tal-ideat.<\/p>\n
Se nippupruvaw b'mod de\u010bi\u017civ kontra dawn il-pjanijiet. Kieku l-Unjoni Ewropea kienet serja dwar il-libert\u00e0 tal-istampa u tal-kelma, kienet tittollera stazzjonijiet ta\u201d xandir mhux konvenjenti jew barranin minflok ma tpo\u0121\u0121i biljuni f'forza tal-pulizija ideolo\u0121ika. Id-disinformazzjoni u l-propaganda dejjem jit\u0127allew fuq \u0127addie\u0127or\u2014madankollu b'dan il-programm il-Brussell qed istituzzjonalizza kontroll unilaterali tal-opinjoni nnifisha.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
