Welcome everybody to our virtual roundtable on censorship, arguably one of the top news stories of our time. I think we all agree.

Panelists tonight are staunch advocates for the First Amendment who have each experienced the heavy hand of censorship and insidious manipulation of our information.

My name is Cheryl Atkinson. I'm a practicing investigative reporter, formerly, TBS, CNN, PBS, still suing the government after its

forensically proven intrusion into my computers, as if TBS investigated corresponded my

independent weekly TV show now,

full measures produced by St Clair broadcast group.

I'm going to give a brief introduction of tonight's panelists

before each has a chance to make opening remarks.

We'll go one by one but first with our host, Robert F Kennedy Jr.

a Democrat and candidate for president who recently, by the way, testified at a congressional

hearing on censorship and the government's role.

Kennedy has said that reinvigorating the First Amendment is at the heart of his

presidential campaign.

He has been widely censored, misrepresented, and smeared.

A starting point to consider in the opening remarks, all of you if you choose.

Those who wish to censor claim to do this to protect us.

They can have all the information they want,

but they say that you can't have it

and that's for your own good.

In reality, the heart of censorship is control.

So we're gonna start, I think by asking what is it today that they are so

desperate to control and who are they? First, Bobby Kennedy. Well, are you, are you asking me to answer that question?
