Icelandic muzzle

Society leaders in the tiny Nordic republic of Iceland are embarrassing themselves by attempting to “re-educate” the country’s media. Apparently, news outlets have been too critical in covering Iceland’s mega-breakdown last year and the state Public Health Institute is not having it anymore.

Sounds very Maoist to me. Or maybe it’s my mistake for thinking that people in power anywhere really embrace the true meaning of free expression. When things would go so much smoother for you if everybody would just get in line, alternative opinions become such a nuisance. Pity.
