December 03, 2018 "Information Clearing House" - For ten years, Jim Hightower’s weekly column – Little Puffs of Populism – has been distributed week in and week out by Creators’ Syndicate to newspapers around the country.
Not one problem.
Until this week’s column titled Free The Free Press from Wall Street Plunderers
Earlier this week, Creators’s Syndicate informed Hightower they were not going to distribute this one.
Why not?
“The big, hedge-fund owned newspaper chains that Hightower calls out in his column are big customers of theirs, and as such, they don’t want to risk offending them,” said Hightower assistant Melody Byrd. “But while Creators’ reluctance to anger these powerful interests is somewhat understandable, the implications are frightening. It’s one more example of this dangerous time for America’s decreasingly-free press that, ironically, Jim lays out in this very column.”
