I’m sorry but this rating is a bit of a joke. It lists UK and France as having much freer press than the US. I remember an interview with John Carreyrou, the French-American journalist who broke the Theranos scandal. He said very clearly that if it had happened in France, no press outlet would have covered it. Theranos had a board of trustees that included Henry Kissinger, a future secretary of defense, etc. And the publisher of the, WSJ, Rupert Murdoch, had invested hundreds of millions. I doubt it would have been published in the UK or Germany either.
