Wouldn't you agree that before the soothing and after the shooting starts are completely different realities?
Once the affiliates start killing people the media becomes propaganda. Even if it was a propaganda before, you had the chance to challenge it and keeping it free is useful but once the shooting starts keeping it free means that they can coordinate with their murder professionals to sway support and ease their job.
IMHO, at time of war, banning communication channels of hostile forces is a fair game.
- blub 5y agoThe EU is not at war with anyone.
- mrtksn 5y agoIt doesn't matter. EU is actively taking sides in an armed conflict.
- blub 5y agoYes, so what if it is? Like I said the EU is not at war with anyone, so there’s no need for drastic measures which go against the principles of the union. If you haven’t noticed, the EU considers press freedom quite important, at least if one were to judge based on the approach towards Hungary or Poland.
- mrtksn 5y agoI don't agree that it's O.K. to have absolutist press freedoms under occupation. Media has always been part of military operations, you can't afford having military operations conducted on you when tanks are rolling and missiles are being fired and bombs are dropped. Comparing this situation with the situation in Hungary or Poland is absurd.
