Freedom of speech, huh? Ex-Freedom House chief proposed to ban Russian media outlets like Sputnik and RT in an attempt to cut the influence of Russian media.

David Kramer, Senior Director at the McCain Institute and former president of Freedom House called for negating the influence of Russian media by banning outlets like Sputnik and RT.

It seems, that Mr Kramer forgot about two core European principles: freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
