This is "world press freedom day" or some such rot. That's the occasion for the mainstream media bigs to celebrate how essential they are in maintaining our vaunted "democracy."
Needless to say, we're not celebrating alternative news sites like Counterpunch or Glenn Greenwald's Intercept or many more on the alt-news side.
They are dangerous. They are fake news. Read Counterpunch for a few weeks, and hot damn, before you know it you find yourself thinking the exceptional nation isn't all that exceptional anymore...
What could be more dangerous than that?
That's why it's so important to tweak those Google algorithms in such a way that you'll never find any news that doesn't conform to the official narrative of American exceptionalism.
