> Except for the United States, no country has real freedom of speech Ahem... - ▶ this video - link Particularly the second link, the journalist is forbidden from interviewing an inmate. Also he's under special surveillance. Call that "freedom of speech".

I too don't want to get in a shouting match but you interestingly disregarded my second point (let alone the others). Here is a clip of a notable instance (CNN reporter and crew arrested, live): ▶ this video If this doesn't bother you, then you are beyond reasoning with.

Here is the video of the CNN reporter arrest. I have included the description of the video below to help people find it: A CNN reporter and crew have been arrested live on air while covering the Minneapolis protests over the killing of George Floyd. Black correspondent Omar Jimenez had just shown a protester being arrested when about half a dozen white police officers surrounded him. Mr Jimenez told the Minnesota State Patrol officers: “We can move back to where you like”, before explaining that he and his crew were members of the press, adding: “We’re getting out of your way.” The journalist was handcuffed and led away alongside a producer and camera operator for CNN. ▶ this video accompanying story from same publication's site: link
