      In a war setting? Of course.

      Propaganda has always and will always outpaced whatever protections freedom of information has. Those freedoms only really hold in peacetime.

      I don’t think you understand how unfree information is in the West. The West has the oldest, biggest, most well funded, and most effective propaganda machine in the history of the world.

      You mean like what Trump supporters consume? And Fox, MSNBC, and all the other “news” outlets? How is that freedom working for the people in the land of the free?

      There may be differences in the scale of bias and propaganda, but nobody should live under the illusion that they have access to unbiased news.

        You are still drawing an equivalence between availability of information in America compared to Russia, implying they are equal. They are not and what you are doing is disingenuous.
