Unfortunately there is no country where there is free information, it has always been so governments have always used censorship to control the masses. Today, different systems are used to deceive people such as fake news and with the Internet they spread in the blink of an eye and denying them is difficult. For example, in my country during the pandemic on TV the same epidemiologists always spoke and woe to those who tried to contradict them , they ended up exposed to the media pillory. Journalists rather than seeking the truth tend to spectacular the news perhaps to raise their ratings. I don't know how we can defend ourselves from all this.
