Biden calls closure of Hong Kong's Apple Daily 'sad day for media freedom'

Now that China has snuffed out a major medium for free speech in HK, China will next try to mold those Hong Kongers into obedient non-protesting citizens. Poor Hong Kong!

Taiwan is next on China's plate. Let's see if the world will allow it.

And Biden's words aren't diminished at all by the US shutting down several dozen ME prodemocracy news outlets websites, are they.

Well, not if you are inside the wall of the Imperium's media blanketing of the market.

And Biden's words aren't diminished at all by the US shutting down several dozen ME prodemocracy news outlets websites, are they.

Well, not if you are inside the wall of the Imperium's media blanketing of the market.

Indeed. 36 websites seized in Iran and Iraq by Biden's Justice Department, largely unreported by the corporate Western media.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called the closure of Hong Kong's Apple Daily tabloid a "sad day for media freedom" and said it signaled "intensifying repression"

In exactly the same way that Biden is still seeking to extradite the Australian journalist Julien Assange from the UK. The hypocrisy is astonishing, but not surprising.
