Sure, Ok, and? What good does that do to the end political landscape, human rights, and overall quality of life of the population? Freedom of information is only worthwhile if it accomplishes something, it's not some kind of objective good on it's own. There are numerous ways to control your population, and that's what…
Whether the news is censored by official policy of the government, or censored because the majority of media is owned by a few colluding white republican men that can dictate the nations narrative, the end result of a brainwashed, uninformed population remains the same.

The whole freedom freechoice is the bullshit.

Educated, wealthy, white men (myself included) can afford to learn about what's really going on, or…
