Compare this to the American hypocrisy in claiming itself to be the defender of the free world. In its efforts to emerge as the champion of free press, American criticism of the alleged muzzling of free media in Cuba, Russia and 
Latin America has been high pitched and consistent. One would remember that when the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded in Pakistan in early 2002, the US coolly washed its hands off the crime of its (then) staunch ally Pakistan. Pathetically, General Musharraf got so audacious that he boasted to global media that the beheading of Daniel Pearl was the “consequence of his excessive eagerness in knowing things he shouldn’t have known.”
The freedom of press concomitantly flows from the Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The article notes that “everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media.”. As of today, that freedom is being manipulated, cajoled, pressurized and even crushed by the ruling elite of the world. And that declaration definitely stands emaciated at best.
