Free Flow of Information - 

    What we see on the news can be totally different of what is actually going on in today's world, the government is doing a whole lot of shady things but nobody is getting in trouble for it. More than half of the population doesn't even know because if Journalist or other news sources were to spill about what they are actually doing it could led to some serious punishment such as death or prison. Just look at Edward Snowden he has leaked a pretty big CIA scandal and is now forced to live in Russia because if he were to come back to America they would kill him or put him in Prison for life. He was someone who use to work for the CIA and was an inside scoop and when he started spilling the secrets they panic and went after him.  This isn't just happening to Edward Snowden though, he is the one of the only ones that was put on national TV. There are so many more whistleblowers that experience the same thing because they try to expose the United States but it is like a pit bull going after a chihuahua and they can't fight back. 

    This same type of situation is happening with Julian Assange who is an Australian editor as well as the founder of WikiLeaks which exposes all different types of Countries such as the United States so everyone is trying to kill him or put him in maximum security prison just because he is leaking government secrets, if you were to tell that to just an average US citizen they would be shocked. What they are saying on the News makes it sound like this man has committed a mass murder but really he hasn't. Assange was just someone expressing his rights until the US saw it was making them look bad and immediately put a stop to it. He was arrested in the U.K and the US is trying to come up with a plan with Britain. 

    This topic should be something that everyone is knowledgeable about because it has became a pretty big issue with the United States as the years started to go by, it has been getting worse and worse. The US has been getting better at covering things so it doesn't get out to the public until the whistleblowers come around and publish a story about it getting the US fired up. Making that person the most wanted person like they just committed murder, when really it shouldn't be that way. It is something that everyone needs to be aware of since this people today think it is a normal thing when really it isn't and it should be stopped.
