Regardless, should we really sanction our own citizens simply for reporting, in good faith, something that goes against the state-sponsored narrative (true or otherwise)?
This is legit the kind of stuff we used to use as examples as why "Russia is bad".
There is no equivalency bettween what Russia actually does here these days ... or between what was going on in Russia as Putin cemented his power, ressurected Stalins mythology about Stalin as a great leader and how communist Russia operated.
These false equivalencies amd attempts to hint that Ukraine war is anything else then a territorial expansion are not just "regardless".
They are the core issue.
You've side-stepped my question entirely - should we really be sanctioning journalists? Is that really a sign of healthy democracy and free speech?
