Antiwar Censorship

In this day and age, antiwar voices in the media are getting harder and harder to find. Just as it is getting increasingly more difficult to find reliable news outlets and forums, it is becoming harder to find what you are looking for exactly in the media.

So much information now gets censored by either the government or other third parties holding political agendas for or against one thing or another. A couple examples of this phenomenon would be from the websites https://www.antiwar.com/ (Antiwar) and https://www.theamericanconservative.com/web-categories/realism-restraint/ (The American Conservative). Have you ever heard of either of these websites before? I know that I haven’t before researching this topic.

Typically, it is easy to find whatever information it is you are looking for online, whether it be through news articles, social media, friends and family, you name it – as long as it’s not too controversial. There has been evidence that shows the government actually does censor information online, despite protests arguing that such a thing is a violation of our first amendment rights as American citizens.

Why is it that these basically unheard of websites garner little to no attraction while mainstream news outlets selling off fake/modified news to the public are still so popular? Why is it that finding antiwar voices these days is so difficult when there are clearly so many?
