no one assumed that? The point is everyone can say whatever that person wants, including ANY journalists. Being afraid of some "government policy" is a paranoia coming from countries where the first point does not apply, projecting their own fears to others

So like a long tradition from Gary Webb to Assange, cancel culture, attacks on the integrity and reputation (and de-platforming) of people like Taibbi or Greenwald, and so on?

This works fine if everybody's voice has equal weights but some have louder megaphones than others. Their voices matter disproportionately more.

Has there ever been a place or time when this wasn't true?
