It's ridiculous. The US has the freest press in the world. It's so free in fact that it is destroying the country because they can print whatever they want
Jonathan Price
Check this shit
Michael Foster
Let me know when you can legally publish this in a New Zealand newspaper and then I'll believe they have more freedom of press.
Julian Thompson

look at this entry for australia which ranks many spots higher:
>The space left for demanding investigative journalism has also been reduced by the fact that independent investigative reporters and whistleblowers face draconian legislation. Australia adopted one of the toughest defamation laws of the world’s liberal democracies in 2018, while its laws on terrorism and national security make covering these issues almost impossible. At the same time, the migrant detention centres run by government contractors on the islands of Manus and Nauru are in practice inaccessible to journalists and have become news and information black holes.
How is USA worse? I can't help but feel they are overstating Trump's rhetoric and its effect. USA has had no new legislation that decreased press freedom.
Jaxson Carter
If the US has such low press freedom because of Trump, why doesn't the press have even the slightest fear of criticizing him?
Jayden Gray
>Sweden that free

Whoever made this map is a cunt

And look at this write up for Surinam which ranks 28 points higher than US:
>With few attacks on journalists and a varied media landscape, Suriname gets fairly good marks these days for its respect for the freedom to inform. But training and resources are lacking and “public expression of hatred” towards the government is punishable by up to seven years in prison under a draconian defamation law. The very controversial Desi Bouterse, who became president again in 2010 and was reelected in 2015, has managed to be amnestied for the 1982 murders of 15 political opponents including five journalists.
Seven years in prison for hatred toward the government...And they rank 28 spots higher. This ranking is fucked

they're the best paid opposition the intelligence agencies can buy
Gabriel Jackson
I wish trump would throw journalists in prison
Anthony Murphy

Entry for Belgium which ranks #9, about 40 spots above US
>Journalists were alarmed by a government directive on the relationship between the judicial system and media, under which a judge can vet a media outlet’s work before publication, and decide what the Belgian public can or can not see. This is in direct violation of the constitution, which says “the press is free” and “censorship can never be introduced.” The outcry in response to this restriction on the freedom to inform was fueled by the fact that it followed the brief arbitrary arrest of journalists from the state-owned French-language radio and TV broadcaster RTBF in June 2018, in connection with their reporting on a camp for migrants.

>map arbitrarily ranks unpozzed nations as black

Sebastian King
>US
>Orange
>Germany and Sweden
>Beige
Yes, the country with a constitutional right to protect the freedom of speech and press vs. a country where you can get arrested for doing a Roman salute or denying the Holohoax, or for reporting on anything negative to do with migrants. I'm sure there's no bias whatsoever.
