Without a free press, you might as well go live in Russia or North Korea.

That is why the Russians employed over one thousand people to create fake news about the US election.

That is why Trump insist on labeling unfavorable news, fake news.

True and therefore democracy is in grave danger as there are no more "free press" as corporate owned media has taken over the world.

Even BBC got on Trump's naughty list this year when their reporters were among those barred from the press briefings.
