Being able to express your opinion and be informed about the political situation in the country you live in is a big part of the democratic constitution, but apparently, there are some countries without freedom of speech or press that don’t exactly care about keeping up with the rest of the world in this term. To be fair, there is no country where journalists aren’t controlled by governments and politicians. Politicians use their power to prevent some news from being published because of their personal needs and, in order to keep their jobs, journalists have to occasionally comply with the requests received by the government. Still, they are allowed to release all the important facts that are going to influence residents’ lives sometimes in the future, while keeping some names unwritten in their reports. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 11 countries without freedom of speech or press.
White House Press Secretary is regularly ridiculed in TV shows like Saturday Night Live. Melissa McCarthy’s impression is on par with Alec Baldwin’s representation of Spicer’s boss, President Trump. Both men have repeatedly shown disdain for the mainstream media, with Trump’s now famous quip “fake news”. This state of affairs naturally leaves a lot to be desired and White House press conferences are often marked with clashes and disputes between journalists and Sean Spicer. Still, once a closer look is taken at the state of freedoms of speech and press worldwide, despite his best intentions, Spicer looks at best as a caricature, compared to many of the world’s far more sinister press oppressors.
