That is why there has been so little rebellion, or even remonstration, among media companies when authoritarian governments threaten journalists, editors, and publishers. It also explains why journalists in those countries have so often bent over backwards to apologize for individual transgressions, rather than stand in defiance.
这就是当独裁政府威胁新闻记者、编辑和出版者时传媒公司几乎没有什么反抗或者甚至是抗议的原因。这也就解释了为什么那些国家的新闻记者如此经常地屈从后退，为个别的违规而道歉，而不是奋起抗争。
