Didn't the administration bug the phones of AP reporters and threaten to reveal information about them unless AP stopped berating, writing negative stories about the White House?

Didn't the administration bug the phones of AP reporters... They sure did, but they had to do it because of the obstructive Republicans in Congress. Or maybe it was because of Sarah Palin.
At any rate, the administration did it to help the children. So it's all good.

The list here is very very political, and tends to reflect the agenda of this org., which is pretty blatant.
Not that the US is doing too well with press freedom, but the reasons given for lots of others don’t have much to do with the press or freedom at all. Israel for instance.

Free for whom? Last I checked the MSM is free to lie and slant their way with impunity.

Reporters Without Borders Who?
What is this organization? What are its beliefs? What is its agenda?
WHY SHOULD I PAY IT ANY ATTENTION?

The Reporters Without Borders worldwide ranking of nations based on the extent to which they protect or abridge press freedom causes my to have MEGA BARF disease.

So, the US had a worse record for press freedom under Bush, who was savaged by the news media every day from before his first day in office without an effective response from him, than it does under Obama, who has bugged phones, intimidated and threatened reporters, and is currently seeking to take over the internet and license bloggers.
Tells me all I need to know about "Reporters Without Borders".

Call me skeptical that there is no real objective method of determining the ranking other than a popularity contest.

It is by our press’ own management and their leftist political will, that press freedom is in the condition it is under the Bamster. They are not doing their jobs and have totally let the country down.
