"In the US, nobody faces abuse for speaking the truth."

Technically correct, since:

- Nobody speaks the truth in the first place, every idea in their public sphere is a product of manufactured consent;
- The few who do speak the truth are not abused, they are persecuted. https://twitter.com/dhume/status/1391751899347619842
"110 journalists were arrested or criminally charged in 2020 and around 300 were assaulted, the majority by law enforcement, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker.

At least 12 still face criminal charges, some of which carry jail terms."

The only reason there is no government censorship in the UK/US, is because it has been replaced by self-censorship.

The only reason it is called the "free press" is because it publishes everything that state intelligence agencies expect of it, for free.
