and why should we trust a report by these liberals with an agenda?

Assuming that this is a leftist organization then it stands to reason that they'd view Israel with utter contempt.

With all respect to Israel they have some issues about liberties. Taxation and other means of wealth transfer are pretty socialist too.

Israel, only 'free' country in the region, ranks 65th in the world for press freedoms

In this day & age when "freedom of Press" is also, very much, dictated by the internet... IOW, electronically too, I doubt Israel will hold the mentioned rank, or any other nation, for long...

Let's most (all) move to Israel, that would be the day. OR, let's see why the rest aren't allowing "press freedom".

Freedom House listed eight nations as the "worst of the worst" for press freedom: Belarus, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

Had to look at this article again. It seems they are focusing mainly on "leftist" gov'ts w/ the exception of Iran.

Where is Saudi Arabia, for example, in this? They are just as bad as Iran, unless "Freedom House" wants to justify Saudi censorship because of Islamic this & that. Even Al-Jazeera broadcasting from Qatar is State Owned. I should think it is selective about what & how of its news. Similar to Mullah Regime's Press TV.
