Banning state media from an hostile nation is a rational act...even if it’s the Europeans doing it.

Case in point:

So you don’t believe in free speech. Congratulations.

Censorship is always wrong.

Churchill didn’t ban Brits from listening to Lord Haw Haw. And we didn’t ban people from listening to Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally.

Abolishing Free Speech is a crime- any which way you would like to paint it.

So you were all onboard when they banned reports about the Biden crime family & 51 former intelligence bigwigs signed a statement knowing that they were lying about Hunter Biden's laptop being a Russian disinformation campaign.

You keep proving what a silly little girl you really are.

When they come for you over something you disagree with them about, don't you start whining little girl.

But then again, you will probably remain loyal to your country, because in your mind it is unpatriotic to point out when your government is being dishonest, because they must be doing it to benefit the citizens of this nation.

Have I got that right, sully little girl?

Accounts of domestic Russian TV are breathtaking. Wall to wall indoctrination. It works there, so why wouldn't they export it to the weak minded in Europe and America?

Yep. The USA should be banning all state and state supported media originating from Russia, China, Afghanistan, and probably Hungary and Turkey as well. There’s no freedom of the press for foreign governments in the USA.
