Yesterday ABC released an article detailing $6 billion in corrupt business dealings between trump’s kids and the US government. 6 hours later this article was censored.

It has been removed from the front page, the reporter’s page, and a direct link 404’s. It has been completely removed from ABC’s website. We are very lucky archive.is got there first.

The censorship of news sources is a major point of violence with this regime. Here is a recent article about ABC’s ongoing problems with trump’s personal censorship of their reporting.

    Mod here.

    We occasionally allow sources other than news articles which cannot be replicated otherwise. This appears to be the case here.

    While we cannot be sure that the reason for the removal was censorship, as there are many reasons that an article may be removed. However, it has been cited by other trustworthy news sources, and censorship is a reasonable theory.

    At this time, the post will remain. In the future, please DM a mod prior to posting something that is not normally permitted.

    I would not have seen this if you hadn’t posted. Thank you for taking the time to hunt it down. Much appreciated.

      You are very welcome. Spread it wherever you think it should be posted. The media is so captured now, this is the only way it will get coverage.

      This is like seeing a cockroach. The one that I barely managed to see, means there has probably already been hundreds of these behind the walls that we haven’t seen, just completely quietly removed, and thousands that died before they were even published.
