Yes, the united states, where the state funded media arm amplifies a call for the us to be invaded (to be fair, by the us):

https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_world-leaders-offer-mixed-reac...

"If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States"



Very few Americans know about the VoA, especially compared to Britons and the BBC.


That's besides the point. They are allowed to criticize the hand that feeds them (as is the BBC)


If only that were true, Julian Assange and many others would be free.


> if only that were true

What is happening to assange is a travesty, but you are literally arguing against something that is demonstrably true. Try again.


Are you for real? The suffering of Assange, Manning, Peltier, and many others demonstrates that this is not true. Heck, you can even throw right-wing loons associated with Jan 6 in there. Washington simply does not tolerate challenges to its authority.

Evidence-free invocation of "demonstrably true" is an oxymoron.
