Nobel Prize Winner Maria Ressa Is Fighting for Press Freedom

The Philippine journalist sees authoritarian governments and weaponized social media as dual threats to democracyRob Frogoso for The Wall Street JournalWhen the Philippine investigative journalist Maria Ressa won the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, the committee called her “a fearless defender of freedom of expression” who “exposed the abuse of power, use of violence and increasing authoritarianism” of Rodrigo Duterte, the president of the Philippines who left office this year. Ms.

Yea the democrats turn everything into a weapon.

How about Murdoch controlled media?

she never critized about the dengvaxia vaccine rolled out by liberals that killed a lof of children, the sub standard infrastructures build during liberal party won as president, she never reported the corruption.she is like the leftist in US

The problem is when the “press”freely becomes a function of authoritarian government, and no longer objectively reports.

Weapon used media..

She's convicted of libel by a competent court here in the Philippines. Ironic! 🤣🤣🤣

We agree with her that the authoritarian democrat dictatorship in the US is a threat to humanity.

WSJ is a threat to democracy
