Not Indipendent Media. all Media who help for Terrorisom will ban.
Anyone familiar with Sri Lanka media or its traditions, where government is openly and severely criticized ( if you are not familiar, read the main newspapers and their websites and see what i mean) know that such a thing is impossible.
This is another canard by pro-terrorists masquerading as free media, hitting out at their paymasters’ losses on and off the battlefield.
