COMMENTARY
This news program in South Africa is distributed via the Internet after being refused air-time in the government controlled mainstream TV media. Sadly, very few media organizations have truly free editorial staff ... and this has become worse in the last two decades as corporate control of media companies has expanded. Some countries have embraced more press freedom in this time ... but the progress is tenuous.
