How many reporters were beaten in Hungary? Really no need to pass laws restricting reporters when you can just hit them instead.

- burgerbrain 15y agoI asked how many... Anyway, compare these: http://en.rsf.org/report-hungary,108.html http://en.rsf.org/report-hungary,108.html http://en.rsf.org/report-united-states,176.html http://en.rsf.org/report-united-states,176.html The report lists 25 reporters as having been beaten or arrested in 2011. It does not list any beatings or arrests in Hungary during the same time period. Neither are good, however the comparative scores seem just about right to me.
- Zakharov 15y agoObviously, restricting press freedom with laws and with beatings are both bad. However, I don't think 25 beatings in a country as large as the U.S. constitutes a systematic or widespread attack on press freedom.
- burgerbrain 15y agoThe thought that it's not systematic disturbs me even more.
