The #media in democratic countries have the #freedom they wouldn't find in autocracies.

That freedom, like all freedom, comes with #responsibility

Yet the media amplifies #autocrats who are against that freedom

E.g. there's barely any addresses by our democratically elected European leaders as they meet this week. You'll struggle to find a livestream of #Zelenskyy's interview to the press.

But multiple media outlets live-stream war criminal #Putin's yearly address & "interview" to the #press

🥥 From the Dave Troy article:
"If democracy-minded people don’t seize control of the information environment, powerful sociopathic autocrats will do so instead. We leave a power vacuum open at our peril, and at the moment, Musk and Putin are the ones with the most will to fill it." --DaveTroy
