Report Flags Setbacks to Press Freedom in Europe | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A report by a German civil liberties group has flagged setbacks to press freedom in some European countries. The report says that media freedom is "close to breaking point" in several nations. While EU nations have spent years lecturing others on press freedom, this report shows that all is not well with the continent's own news media. Public service media in countries like Hungary have virtually been captured by the government. There are also reports of physical harassment and snooping operations on European journalists. What is the European Union doing to fix this issue? Should the EU stop its lectures on press freedoms until it can put its own house in order? Palki Sharma tells you.
