These knee-jerk defenders seem to forget that the West bans entire channels like RT and Al Jazeera.
I remember when the Second Gulf War started in 2003, Al Jazeera was removed from cable channels. They were forced to start a completely new organization, called "Al Jazeera America" to 'comply' with local laws. So much for freedom of speech, eh?
And don't even get me started on RT. Edit: HN "discussions" of RT getting banned: https://ibb.co/VtyBSCn https://ibb.co/VtyBSCn
