Comparative freedom

Press freedom, that is. The 2007 Press Freedom Index from Reporters Without Borders is here (via Mick). The bottom spot is number 169 and Cuba and Iran are cheek by jowl at numbers 165 and 166 respectively. Zimbabwe comes in at 149. In view of that, you'd have to say that Venezuela does well amongst the most vocally 'anti-imperialist' countries, being placed at 114. Perhaps there's something to be said for the way these countries embrace one another. Iran, Cuba and Zimbabwe might take a lesson in press freedom from... Venezuela.
