      I agree with Morrissey.
      On top of the various examples he has presented, there is also the simple fact that the west has other powerful ways of controlling journalists.
      You only get a job or get promoted if you say the right things.
      Look at the Eleanor Catton affair to see the state of the media here and the role in suppressing dissent.

      I recommend everyone watches Shadows of Liberty.
      The story of Gary Webb shows what happens when a US journalist questions the system.
      Sobering.
