Notes:  Freedom of press means t here are no restraints on the press, so they can put different opinions in the newspaper without the government being able to stop them, this also means they can talk about what ever they want which sometimes means people high up in the government are caught by the papers doing something illegal or immoral.

When watching all the videos it feels like they are linked together in some way, fo...
