- VBprogrammer 6mo agoYou did a good job of walking the line here. A tiny bit less over the top and I'd have not been convinced it was satire.
- GJim 6mo agoMore evidence, if it's needed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index The USA's score has taken rather a tumble since 2016 (I wonder why?).
- riffraff 6mo agojust a note: the RSF World Press Freedom Index is not based on hard data or sound statistics, it's based on a few questionnaires sent to journalists picked by RSF itself. How many it's unclear, but it was ~150[0] some years ago, of which 50 in France[1] to monitor 180 countries. It's worth as a generic "are we doing better than last year?" but I wouldn't consider ranking to be particularly meaningful.
