The "free press" in its original form was the honest broadcasting of the news by paper, radio, or TV.

We now have the internet.

So, the real issue comes down to this: "If we don't have "freedom of speech," we don't have a "democracy."

By that reasoning, we still have a "democracy" albeit a fragile one.

That said, there are other ways to kill a "democracy." One is a collapse of the institutions that the "democracy" depends on, like the DOJ, the FBI, and the military (which has gone Woke).
