America's Fallen Arches: Freedom of the Media

[elalacran]

Last year we learned that our country ranked above Mexico and Greece in general quality of life including health care rankings.

Now this.

Thanks to police reactions to the Occupy Wall Street protest movement we have fallen 27 points in Reporters Without Borders' Press Freedom Index. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2091948/U-S-falls-47th-press-freedom-rankings-Occupy-crackdown.html

The most free media are in Finland, Norway, Estonia and so on.

Not to worry, we are still well ahead of Russia, China and North Korea.

But overall, in all categories, we seem to be headed toward world mediocrity. Not good, not bad, just ... mediocre.

"Reporters without Borders" , wow, how tragic that they don't like the way we handled something.

We are way up based on the reactions to the occupy movement in the "LubbockGOPEr's Ranking in Common Sense"
