Constants and Variables 133
Constant: Every country arrests journalists and whistleblowers for various reasons, some of which are perfectly valid.
The variable is what happens AFTER the arrest.
UK arrested Assange many years ago and the case continues to increase in intensity, despite many years of huge protests.
Russia arrested a journalist a week ago and the case has been dropped following a few complaints.
At the moment Russia is doing a better job of "freedom" for journalists than US or UK.
If "democracy" has any meaning or purpose, it should mean responsiveness and adaptiveness. Good feedback loops.
