Russell Brand Condemns Big Tech and Media for Suppressing Information from Voters
By Movieguide® Staff
Actor, comedian and radio host Russell Brand blasted the Big Tech and the media for suppressing negative information regarding then-presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter ahead of the 2020 election.
Brand, host of the podcast “under the Skin,” invited investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald to discuss Big Tech censorship and the media’s role in the 2020 presidential election. Brand, who does not claim a political affiliation, said that the Democratic Party was dishonest.
“Did the media and social media conspire to keep information about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s relationship with foreign energy companies out of the media?” Brand questioned. “The answer is: yes, they did.”
Hunter Biden allegedly possessed emails on his laptop that caused many to infer a connection between his father, Joe Biden, and Hunter’s international business partners, the New York Post reported.
“Look, I’m not a pro-Republican person,” Brand said. “I don’t see myself that way. I don’t see myself as a conservative, or that I’m in a Trump or Giuliani or media establishments that were reporting on these revelations, they are not my cultural, social, or political allies. That’s certainly not how I see myself.
“However, it seems to me that what reason is Hunter Biden [sitting] on the board of an energy company in the Ukraine? What reason is James Biden [sitting] on the board or receiving payments from an energy company in China?” Brand said, adding: “At a time when we’re talking about sleaze, corruption, financial misdemeanors and relationships between corporations, big business, and politicians, let’s just face it: unless you’re stupid, you know that’s going on all the time. So, either change that or let’s stop pretending that politicians are aspiring to anything other than the advance of their own interests. And if there is a byproduct, a few people get helped along the way, well, then, that’s great.”
Brand noted that the Democratic Party’s willingness to suppress information of interest to voting Americans is sufficient grounds to question their true motives.
“[I am] sad to realize that I can no longer even claim to believe that Joe Biden or the Democratic Party might be the answer, because look at how they behave,” Brand said. “And look at the relationships between media, social media, and that party. They conspired to keep information away from you because it was not convenient to their agenda.”
Post-election, with President Joe Biden in the White House, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey confessed to the U.S. Senate that his social media platform censored information about the Biden family.
“We recognize it as a mistake that we made, both in terms of the intention of the policy and also the enforcement action of not allowing people to share it publicly or privately,” Dorsey said.
