USA 47th in Press Freedom

Another sign that liberty is vanishing.

The article states that the US fell because of "reporters being arrested in occupy movement." Really? I never heard of bona fide reporters being arrested. I did see reporters from major news organizations threatened with beatings and other physical harm by Occupiers.

Hell, if they had let the "Lunatic Fringe" (the militia loving part of the Tea Party) attend en masse, there would have been a gun battle with police.

Remember those "out-of-control" nut jobs that attended the "Town Hall" shout-downs?

Then, there were the Blue Cross Blue Shield operatives who attended and forgot to take off their BCBS logo polo shirts.

What the FUCK are you blathering about? Did you read the reference to the SPJ president link: http://blogs.spjnetwork.org/presiden...ng-their-jobs/ ? Sounds very, very minor. Just because you have a blog doesn't make you a Walter Cronkite.

Again I did see network reporters threatened with physical harm by the Occupiers.

Game over man. Game over!

Happy (but not surprised) to find the Netherlands in the Top 5.
That's where I get most of my news.
