The pro-[redacted] stance of Noah Berlatsky, a writer for Bloomberg, starkly contradicts his critique of Sound of Freedom, a film that vehemently opposes child trafficking.
Noah Berlatsky, a Bloomberg writer who recently lambasted the film ‘Sound of Freedom’, has been identified as a pro-[redacted] activist. The stark contradiction is impossible to ignore: a critic of a film that exposes the atrocities of child trafficking is himself an advocate for the very crime the film seeks to combat.

Sound of Freedom is a cinematic tour de force that has struck a chord with audiences globally. Despite its limited release and fewer theatre appearances, the film has managed to eclipse mainstream blockbusters like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The movie, featuring Hollywood stalwart Jim Caviezel, is grounded in the harrowing real-life missions of Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security officer who dedicated his life to rescuing children ensnared in human trafficking operations.
Berlatsky’s critique of Sound of Freedom was not merely a review but an assault. He branded the film as a QAnon dog whistle, insinuating that it served to stoke conspiracy theories rather than illuminate the grim reality of child trafficking. However, the revelation of his pro-[redacted] activism has cast a pall over his critique, raising questions about his motives and credibility.
In his PayWalled critique of the film Sound of Freedom, Noah Berlatsky overlooks key contextual factors and fails to approach the subject from a neutral standpoint, thereby inadvertently revealing a troubling hypocrisy. For instance, he condemns the film’s alleged QAnon associations and its potential propagation of conspiracy theories, yet he himself had previously dismissed the film as a mere product of a “far-right QAnon conspiracy theory,” implying a significant bias in his initial perception of the movie. Such a stance fundamentally contradicts the journalistic principles of objectivity and fairness, and unfortunately, calls into question the validity of his subsequent review.
Furthermore, Berlatsky’s critique is tainted by his alleged personal inclinations, which may influence his stance on the movie’s theme: child trafficking. His supposed sympathy towards a group that harbours inappropriate interests in minors raises a serious conflict of interest when analyzing a film that actively campaigns against such behaviour. It is a disquieting contradiction that someone with his alleged inclinations should critique a movie whose premise runs counter to his personal beliefs, thereby undermining the credibility of his analysis. These issues cast a shadow over his critique of Sound of Freedom, questioning the legitimacy of his conclusions and his credibility as a critic in this context.
The unveiling of Berlatsky’s disturbing advocacy came from Andy Ngo, the Senior Editor of The Post Millennial. Ngo disclosed that Berlatsky was a spokesperson for the M.A.P. (minor-attracted person) advocacy group, Prostasia. Berlatsky has been vocal about his contentious beliefs, including his stance that sex offender registries are inherently racist and his assertion that [redacted] are a stigmatized group.
This revelation is not an isolated incident. It is part of a disconcerting pattern that has surfaced in the realm of journalism and media. Peter “Dr. Pizza” Bright, a tech journalist for Ars Technica, was convicted for soliciting minors for sex. Similarly, CNN producer John Griffin was apprehended for enticing minors to partake in ‘unlawful sexual activity’. These incidents underscore a troubling trend of child predators infiltrating mainstream media and gaming, a problem that demands immediate attention.
Berlatsky’s critique of Sound of Freedom is now viewed through a different lens. His dismissal of the film as a far-right QAnon conspiracy theory appears to be a desperate attempt to downplay the very real and pervasive issue of child trafficking. It is a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and scrutiny in the face of such critiques, especially when they emanate from individuals with questionable motives.
Sound of Freedom stands as a testament to the power of cinema to enlighten audiences about critical and challenging realities of our world. It is a narrative of resilience, heroism, and the fight against one of the most heinous crimes. Despite the attacks from critics like Berlatsky, the film’s success suggests that audiences are seeking more than just escapism. They are embracing films that dare to expose difficult truths, inspire action, and effect change.
Sadly, there seem to be a lot of predators working in the journalism industry. Peter Bright who unironically gave himself the nickname “Dr. Pizza” was also arrested and sentenced for a very long time for crimes against children.
The exposure of Noah Berlatsky as a pro-[redacted] activist is a disconcerting revelation that underscores the need for vigilance and scrutiny. It also serves as a reminder of the power of cinema to shed light on pressing societal issues, even when they are often hidden in the shadows. The paradox of Berlatsky’s stance and his critique of Sound of Freedom serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and contradictions that often lurk beneath the surface. As we continue to navigate these complexities, the power of cinema to expose, educate, and inspire remains a beacon of hope in an often murky world.
