Re: [blind-democracy] Re: censorship?
I can't say that I have heard the commercials disguised as announcements
about how this show was made possible by some company that I always hear
on public
broadcasting on Radio Sputnik. But I only listen to Sputnik erratically.
Maybe I missed it.

Miriam, yes I agree, my understanding is that Sputnik works in a similar
fashion.

Who knows? It's Russian State sponsored, but NPR which is American State
sponsored has many corporate sponsors. They don't have normal
commercials, but
they do have one announcement after another about which corporations and
foundations are supporting them. And Russia is certainly a Capitalist
country
these days.

I don't know about that. Corporate sponsorship means advertising. Just
how much advertising does Radio Sputnik have?

Miriam, usually programs get canceled because they can't get corporate
sponsors and corporate sponsors depend upon ratings to determine what
media to sponsor.
If listener rating were low then it was a doomed existance.

I must apologize to the US security state. I thought it was blocking the
program. But it's the Sputnik network that discontinued it. I wonder why.

How do you know that Sputnik cancelled the show?

Miriam, nothing is being "blocked". There have been no episodes since
September 1, because Sputnik canceled the show.

I answered this before, but I think it was blocked. I have used both
feeds. Neither works. Furthermore, Humanware said that neither one would
work. I did
switch, however, from the one that said only Brian Becker, to the one
that said John Kariakou and Brian Becker, just to be sure. It makes no
difference.
The last episode that I can find is one from many weeks ago.

Try doing another search for it on your Stream. I just did that. I
searched for the phrase, loud and clear. I got eight results and two of
them stated
right in the title that Brian Becker was a host. I am thinking, but I
don't know, that perhaps they gave up the feed that they were using for
some reason
or another and started a new one. If that is the case then if you
subscribe to the other one you just might start getting it again.

Loud and Clear is a news and information radio program and a podcast
which is broadcast on Sputnik News. Sputnik News is a Russian
sponsored state radio station, just like the BBC is a British state
sponsored radio broadcast system and NPR is an American state
sponsored radio broadcasting system. The two moderators on Loud and
Clear are Brian Becker and John Kariakou. Brian Becker is a member of
The Answer Coalition, a left leaning organization. John Kariakou is a
former CIA agent who blew the whistle on CIA torture and, for that
reason, was prosecuted and jailed. The people who appear on the
program are many of the same people whose articles I post like Max
Blumenthal and Aaron Mate. Richard Wolff, people from Code Pink,
other economists, an expert on nuclear energy, Kevin Gestola, and
many more whom I can't think of. There are also some people whom I
don't know, some who are rather right wing in outlook, and some from
other countries like Great Britain and China. The podcast suddenly
began becoming unavailable, not downloading, about 6 weeks ago. When
I finally discovered that the only people with whom to check were
Humanware, they checked and said that there was nothing that could be
done about it. It just isn't available. I'm not even bothering to
post this to the Victor Stream list because the last time Sputnik was
mentioned, there were a whole lot of responses about how everything
on it is Russian propaganda. So I'm just venting my frustration
here. I didn't listen every day, and I only listened to the segments in
which I was interested. But I resent that some entity somewhere is
making decisions
about what I may hear.
