RFK Jr.’s lawsuit spotlights alleged media collusion to censor 'misinformation'
Fox News
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s group, the Children's Health Defense, claims news organizations violated antitrust laws by collaborating to combat so-called "misinformation" online
Kennedy’s organization, Children’s Health Defense, filed the second lawsuit this year against news outlets that are members of the Trusted News Initiative, a global coalition of news organizations and tech firms, alleging some of the member organizations violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by censoring information.
"One problem is that we rely on the media to be watchdogs of the government," added Lidsky, a media law expert and former dean of the University of Missouri School of Law. "The allegation here seems to be that powerful actors in the media and the government colluded to suppress information."
