Description

Joe Davidson, a founding member of the National Association of Black Journalists and longtime Washington Post columnist, just walked away from the paper. His reason? The Post killed his column exposing Trump’s anti-DEI agenda — with no explanation, no policy, just fear. This is how press freedom dies: quietly, internally, and with complicity. 🔥 Joe Davidson’s column on Trump’s anti-DEI plan was censored by Washington Post editors 🔥 No written policy — just fear of calling Trump racist 🔥 Panel slams billionaire media cowardice and editorial cowardice 🔥 “They were afraid of Trump. That’s it.” 🔥 Roland: “CNN told me not to criticize Trump either.” 🔥 Davidson: “There’s no policy — they just didn’t want the smoke” 🔥 The truth didn’t get edited. It got silenced. #JoeDavidson #WashingtonPost #MediaCensorship #BlackJournalists #FireReels Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjXB7nX8bL2U2sje8d212Yw/join Support #RolandMartinUnfiltered and #BlackStarNetwork 👉🏾 Use Cash App by visiting Stripe https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3ccgYyfSQ8y45kl 👉🏾 PayPal ☛ https://www.paypal.me/rmartinunfiltered Venmo ☛https://venmo.com/rmunfiltered Zelle ☛ [email protected] Annual or monthly recurring #BringTheFunk Fan Club membership via paypal ☛ https://rolandsmartin.com/rmu-paypal/ Download the #BlackStarNetwork app on iOS, AppleTV, Android, Android TV, Roku, FireTV, SamsungTV and XBox 👉🏾 http://www.blackstarnetwork.com #RolandMartinUnfiltered and the #BlackStarNetwork are news reporting platforms covered under Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

It's time for ALL journalists and news affiliates that have quit because of this DEI and speaking truth to whats happening in our country, to join together and get their own news paper.
