I understand what you're saying. If a culture within the industry develops which organically limits information, then the flow of information is not free, right?
I guess it's similar to how industrial cultures develop where a product's ingredients or manufacturing process isn't 100% divulged to the public. While it's not legally restricted, it's still ultimately wrong in the ideal sense.

The issue isn't whether the word "free" applies with precision.
I'm pointing out that we have a freer environment, even if it's the result of the media rather than government loosening things up.

... a Doha-based state-funded broadcaster owned by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partly funded by the House of Thani, the ruling family of Qatar. - source
