Independence of the media seems to be rapidly deteriorating. Once some idiots decided that “misinformation” caused things like Brexit, they acquiesced to the state’s desire to arrogate all media reporting, because, after all, letting people make up their own minds clearly wasn’t working. The coverage of the war in Ukraine is the ultimate exemplar of this, and alarming because it’s not as if the average Western citizen has any stake in it, any vote to cast.
