I would prefer that our media have the freedom of editorial independence. Our democracy relies on it. It is a central pillar. It is not optional.
If an American reporter is intimidated in any fashion, I would like the US government to go after the government that did it. We have our ways. But, most of all, we would want the people of America and the world to know that that particular government is a menance to the truth to a free press. They have something to hide.
As to the rest of the world, it appears that the concept of a free press is not as important as it is in the US, otherwise other press organizations in the world would be expressing outrage at what CNN did.
But since they are not, I suspect they are doing the same thing CNN did - compromising with the devil in order to make money.
