@NinaByzantina Who would be good to follow for Eurasian debate? I'd like to learn from people I may not agree with but aren't hyperbolic.

@NinaByzantina RT broadcasts in the US. An equivalent would never be allowed in Russia#148of179#ReportersWithoutBoarders -
"An equivalent would never be allowed in Russia": Voice of America, Radio Free Europe have been broadcasting for decades.
@SDAIV -
@NinaByzantina broadcasting is meaningless if you aren't picked up by providers. BBC was broadcasted in occupied France, was still illegal -
Iran's Press TV is banned in the US. The West cannot live up to its own press-freedom advocacy.

@NinaByzantina@LizziePhelan@SDAIV It's not banned. I just streamed it live ...pic.twitter.com/XVBtE3CvxD

It's been taken off satellites. Of course, web, Youtube make it accessible. e.g http://www.aawsat.net/2013/07/article55308059 …
@mkearley2008@LizziePhelan@SDAIV -
@NinaByzantina@LizziePhelan@SDAIV That's not the same as banned. Commercial decision by cable/satellite operators. -
This was my response re: providers making dissenting views inaccessible. Unlike RT, Press TV is.

@NinaByzantina what does that even mean? Freedom of the press is a pretty black/white phenomenon, and it's absent in Russia -
6 transnational corporations "freedom of the press" do NOT make.
@SDAIV -
@NinaByzantina there is a difference between existing media structure and freedom of speech #148 how long before RU bans twitter?
