are censoring Russia Today?

One of the core tenets of western democracy is the freedom of the press. Why are we so quickly jumping to censorship today? This is a little different than social media blocking content that they do not like this is the European Union censoring press.

Yes, I know, Russia Today is nothing but Russian propaganda. But you do not defeat misinformation with censorship. New progressivism seems content to throw the baby out with the bathwater in their fight to control messaging.

This is a very troubling trend.
