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.
