State Dept Spokeswoman Mentions Freedom of the Press to Russian Reporters (The Washington Free Beacon)

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert mentioned America's Freedom of the Press to Russian reporters during a press briefing on Tuesday.

Nauert had called on a reporter to ask a question during the briefing. Not being familiar with the man, she asked his name. He said both his name and publication, a Russian publication.

Nauert then asked for a show of hands for how many Russian reporters were in attendance for curiosity.

"Let's just do a show of hands here, how many folks do we have from Russian media?" Nauert asked.
