Freedom of Press for World Ranking

Freedom of Press for World Ranking


I just can't believe.

I just can't believe this.

I just can't believe this information.

I just can't believe this information provided by a Japanese researcher.

I just can't believe this information provided by a Japanese researcher on freedom of press in each country of the world.

It is because Japan is ranked so low in terms of degree of freedom of press, though it is the number one among nonwhite or non-Christian countries.

Check if you can believe it or not by getting access to Economic and Social Dataranking at http://dataranking.com/English/go06-1.html.

I heard that a female Russian journalist was killed in Moscow. It was well reported in Japan. And the Chechen war she reportedly had exhaustively covered has been also somehow well reported in Japan.

Anna Politkovskaya became one of 23 journalists killed in Russia between 1996 and 2005, which might tell why there is no data on Russia to be used for the ranking.

Freedom of press is based on belief in the innate goodness of man.

Jesus Christ, however, says that none is good.

Minding His words might nonetheless make a man a little improved.
