Methodology
"Mostly free" my ass.
Depends on how "free" is defined. The US isn't known for government meddling in what the media is allowed to publish, which is usually what people are talking about when "freedom of the press" comes up.
I agree, but the line is titled "country freedom rank." Not "media freedom rank." So the implication goes beyond what may be intended.
