This week: US media go into overdrive over Russia/Ukraine, painting the conflict as proof that Barack Obama isn’t feared enough. Plus pundits laugh at Putin’s delusion–but what about John Kerry’s? And a big anti-Keystone XL rally at the White House hardly makes the news.

Press freedom is under attack

As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.
