I think what we have learned here in America is that the media can be the most destructive force in the nation. The US media essentially went all in for Obama and holds a high degree of responsibility for subjecting us to the evil we are living through.

I find it ironic that you would use American media bias toward Obama and it's corrosive effect to support the notion that its ok for the Ukraine regime to muzzle journalists who may have been critical of it's policies.

Why? What is the difference? Is the Ukraine regime leftist, foreign, alien intruders trying to destroy the culture and society of Ukraine? Or are they the traditional, legitimate representatives of the actual people of the nation?

You seem to be espousing a position that free speech isn't important as long as you oppose the speech being suppressed...but what would you think if Obama cracked down on conservative speech?

Maybe if you had more exposure to information from the sources Ukraine is trying to ban, your opinion of the situation there would change...which is kind of the point isn't it?
