Watched this morning, 8 Dec. Nobel Laureate Maria Ressa - Peace Prize 2021 - interview. As a journalist she is apparently in deep doo doo in the Philippines, in danger if she shows up there.
She knows what's happening - a lot of common sense about corruption and abuse of power that, unchecked, progresses into dictatorship.
"As Russians are standing strong against Putin's authoritarian rule, our next guest is no stranger to taking on dictators. Journalist and Nobel laureate Maria Ressa is a fearless defender of freedom, exposing corruption and abuse of power in the Philippines. Ressa joins Michel Martin to discuss her new book "How to Stand Up to a Dictator" and to offer tactics for fighting authoritarianism."
