It is very hard to infer the "free press" version of events just from the official line, and very tempting to believe that people in an authoritarian society are brainwashed into complacency. They never are. Their silence is not consent.

How do you know it's free press? Do some members of the free press also support CCP? That would be the real test. Otherwise, the local press would be better described as HK-biased press or propaganda. Note: I sound snarky, but I'm genuinely curious.

It's the free press because it is not subject to censorship or other restrictions on what can be written.

Free press is useless if the western media is mostly bias. Do they report a truck driver got beat up and his truck got burned down just because he wanted to move the bricks? No. Protesters = rioters =Protesters = rioters = terrorists = anarchists!!!

Did western media report elderly women got attacked by the thug protesters / rioters? No! So what’s the point of free press? Protesters = rioters = terrorists = anarchists!!!
