From @us.theconversation.com:
"Free speech and independent media play a vital role in holding governments accountable by informing the public about government wrongdoing.
This is precisely why autocrats like Russia’s Vladimir Putin have worked to silence independent media."

Searching reporters’ homes, suing journalists and repressing citizen dissent are well-known steps toward autocracy
President Donald Trump’s threats against independent media and free speech look a lot like the actions of autocrats elsewhere intent on undermining the institutions meant to keep them in check.
