"problems with the judicial system"? Address the specific case at hand please. (Note that the UN and Amnesty International among other organisations have voiced concerns relating to this.) Explain how imprisoning a judge on, basically, trumped-up charges because of displeasure with a ruling is enforcing the rule of law. Also explain why you think that an English style common law system would or could work in a country with no history of same or background of precedent to draw on.

And corporate media is independent in the sense of "independent of the government"; in a modern society where effective media requires broadcast facilities and/or printing and distribution on a large scale most media are "corporate" but nonetheless remain independent of government while in most cases expressing the political biases of their owners or shareholders. It's probably not the healthiest thing, but there tends to be a diversity of opinion and I'm not comfortable with any government, even one I broadly approve of, shutting down politically dissenting voices in the media.
