More truth about US news comes out of Pravda than the RATagandist American press.

It’s a total waste of paper or airtime.

I’m pretty sure the Russians are free to report any stories about the US with no interference from top leadership.

And yeah, it’s a pretty sad state of affairs to have to say that.

What are you, some kind of reporter?

I just realized that you don’t know what freedom of the press even means. Amazing that an adult living in America does not understand the concept, but considering the ideas crashing around in some brains I shouldn’t be surprised, I suppose.

I will help you out.

You lose freedom of the press when the government controls the media. While I despise the FCC and see no reason for its existence, its power to prevent the dissemination of news about America in America is next to nothing.

You write of Pravda as a shining example of freedom of the press, seeming not to understand that this is not a discussion about one country telling truth about another country but about the country it operates in. You really don’t understand that?

Look at the chart in the above to get a better grasp of the concept so you can discuss it intelligently with others.
