"china ranked a senseless brutal dictatorship according to their enemies", nice try.

your so called land of the free has the largest prison population in the planet period. you guys are literally getting the gestapo to kill innocent bystanders on the streets while calling yourselves a democracy.

you guys could really use learning from socialists and arresting some of your fascistic "journalists" and politicians peddling genocide on so called "dictatorships" you know nothing about abroad. maybe then you can have affordable housing.

china, being a dictatorship of the proletariat and having an actually-working participatory democratic process, has its press in the hands of the people. western countries, being dictatorships of the bourgeoisie, have their press in the hands of a few billionaires, and somehow according to shitlibs that makes it "free and fair" lmfao

lmfao a western-backed "freedom index" is not a substitution for media literacy, nor does it excuse you from providing literally any material evidence to support your argument.

Also, do you want to explain why Israel is ranked at 112; 50 places above Venezuela and Palestine; and why Saudi fuckin Arabia is right there between VZ and PA? Seems to me like this "freedom index" doesn't correlate very well with democracy or human rights, much less evidence-based journalism or state transparency.

• literal straight facts presented in OP
• user arrives and starts speaking of foreign propagandists arriving
• without missing a beat, same user starts repeating blatant propaganda that doesn't even address facts stated in OP but amounts to "bad country no freedoms!"

It never fails, if you post something positive about any of the countries on the "bad-guy" list of enemies of the US, you'll get these pathetic fed bots and/or dronies swarming in, whinging and bleating and stinking up the thread with US state department talking points, western state funded media links, or other such obvious propaganda. It's tiresome and embarrassing to watch.

Ah, the same Reporters Without Borders gaslighting the world about journalist deaths in Gaza?

You know how it's frustrating when far right reactionaries roll up in lib spaces on reddit spewing propaganda the sources of which they haven't investigated critically? That's you. You're doing that here. Please stop.

Amazing, capitalist press saying capitalist press is limited in China and that's "scary."
