Veli,
The real issue in my mind is not freedom of choice but freedom of
information.
Those who own/control the media ultimately control the choice.
It should therefore not be a surprise that photojournalists are so much the
targets of ''misguided'' bullets or missiles in todays war zones.
It is also the reason why populations in distressed areas accept to be
photographed in the intimacy of their deepest distress. Because the
photojournalist becomes their voice to reach over the walls erected by those
who try to control their choice.

Hi,
When we come to it: Does any country have freedom of choice, if the choice
happens to be politically incorrect for that very country?

Why should a culture be changed?
What, if they are right?
Or even if not, then cultures may be and stay different.
Unless it's harmful, it's their choice, isn't it?
Is it their choice though?
Not every country has freedom of choice.
