»Freedom of press: US only 17th place«







The reporters without borders  published a report that shows the US on the 17th place of an worldwide press freedom index .

The US would rank even lower if self-limitation was included in the criteria, too (= e.g. non-reporting of bad facts regarding Bush or Reagan).

Asking experts 50 questions



Sounds like BS to me.

You need something real to look at in order to make an objective report. Simply looking at what people have to say in a questionaire is a silly way to go about things.

Kind of true, but better than nothing and the first report of its kind.

Mmmm...Iceland #1

But our rank almost lowered when our idiot prime minister wanted to make some new Media law that prevented people from having many Medias and being allowed to say what they want. Happily he Lost.

The USA has sank again. Now it's only the 44th place. I learned something new, I guess
