<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 9543962, member: 78949&quot;]I doubt it can be effective in the presence of media reflecting views from different political spectrums, and also searching for sensations and relying upon them for attracting readers. In dictatorships there is no other media apart from the ones belonging to the dictator&#039;s circle or the state which is dictator&#039;s property. And all media with different views is closed, and journalists persecuted and even killed if they don&#039;t comply with the official narrative.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most recent example is Russia - look what happened with all media different from official state channels. And what happened to Politkovskaya, and not only her, there are 19 journalists killed since 2000, and no one is held accountable. There was some mimic &quot;free&quot; media, Novaya Gazeta and Echo Moskvy radio-channel, and since the start of then aggression to Ukraine, even this &quot;fig leaf&quot; was removed, now it is a federal crime punished with jail if a journalist writes or speaks against the war, or against Putin and his clique. There was a case of a young girl who drew a picture with &quot;no to war&quot; words at school, and she was removed from her home to an institution to be &quot;disciplined and re-educated&quot;, and her father sent to jail.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not the case in USA,&nbsp; though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
