    = real dissident. Locked up, placed in a regime show trial even while ill. Genuinely at risk of death. = fake dissident. Regime allowed him to be evacuated abroad when ill. Always followed by media. Absolutely no risk of death despite Putin assassinating him.

    Twitter labelling RT and CCTV as state-affiliated has nothing to do with informing citizens and everything about the US state labelling enemies. , or are all state-affiliated and reach huge audiences and weren't labelled as such.

    Read this and tell me that the show trial of Assange doesn't read like something from Kafka. The judge permits the charges to be changed so frequently the defense doesn't even know what they are, the most basic demands are denied, no one can hear what the defendant says—a farce.

    I am not aware of waging wars and blockades on multiple fronts, deploying bases and missiles all over the world, or stealing other countries' oil by force. US activity is wholly malignant and brutal. Any country offering an alternative is preferable.

    . Banning broadcasting/any foreign media would in no way help , it would weaken opposition. It would result in duller politics, fewer platforms to criticise government policies. This seems to be what the narrow-minded, dull wants.

    NEW: Reported letter from Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party arguably interfering with the role of a UK statutory independent media regulator. Is 's breaching Article 19's "right to freedom of expression" of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

    Maybe now officially supports random political censorship by the British government for national security, as does. A strange thing for an "opposition" party to want. Perhaps also a ban on all our own activity for undermining the government?

    The Trump DOJ's attempt to imprison Julian Assange for working with his source to publish classified documents that exposed US war crimes is the most severe US threat to press freedom since 2016. It's sickening to watch so many journalists ignore it, & so many liberals cheer it:
