Quote:I would first ask you to cite your source so I can ascertain their objectivity... For instance, from wikipedia article on Reporters Without Borders assessment; "Reporters Without Borders have called on the US government to free two journalists it said were being unjustly held at a US prison in Iraq, and at the US military base in Guantanamo, Cuba. However, some critics find it questionable that this was only mentioned in 2006. They also claim that RSF supported the invasion of Iraq, even celebrating the illegal bombing of the ministry of information, a civilian target, whitewashed the U.S. killing of Telecinco Cameraman Jose couso and Reuters Cameraman Taras Protsyuk, and have remained silent about about AP Journalist Bilal Hussein who has been imprisoned by occupation troops. However, this is contradicted by statements made by the RSF."

So, in a time of war, the US detains suspects at Gitmo who are claimed to be journalists and this skews the score. We end up lower (but not last as you indicate). Ce la vie!
eppie would rather believe a line of BS that supports his world view, which means he ought to be a Neo Con and work for Dick Cheney. He's in the wrong country, and in the wrong line of work.
