Facebook has banned the Iran-affiliated anti-imperialist news network Press TV in a blatant violation of press freedom. As journalist Richard Medhurst put it, “‘Freedom of the press’ means you can choose between MSNBC, FOX and CNN. Anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, anti-war reporting will not be tolerated. You’ll get banned or thrown in jail and accused of espionage.”

Richard Medhurst explains that the West claims to stand for press freedoms and liberty, however, when it comes to adversarial outlets like Press TV and Telesur, they are contantly harassed, threatened, and banned from publishing online.
