...demanding that only official government propaganda is now 'legal' news.

China Bans Internet News Reporting as Media Crackdown Widens - Bloomberg

China's leaders have always been like this, trying to exert their authority against the will of the people. Sad.

Not that different than here.
Twitter & Facebook both used anti-Trump filters and the Journ-O-List Major Media take care of the rest.

Really though, it's easier for government to control every aspect of society. As humans, we instinctively want power.

Seems Turkey and China are in a race to suppress the press. Couple days ago Turkey rounded up 57 journalists and columnists - some of whom were fairly famous and well read in that country.

Historically, when leaders want total control of a country, many of the educated, free thinkers are silenced.

Fun Times ...... does everyone remember when TeamObama was outsourcing our entire Mid-East policy to the "moderate" Ergodan? That was a massive mistake and now the world pays for it.

Lead from Behind is NOT a "policy" ....... quote from Hillary Clinton
That would be one of the few times she stepped up to the plate in Policy. Mostly, she just folded & didn't do her job.

No use. Nowadays anyone can post articles online. Although they can be removed by operators, there is always a time gap.
