woot 3rd place (none / 0)
makes sense though, our media has nothing to do with the gouvernement (not bad for a 'communist' european state ^^).Quite ironic if you realise that the largest papers in our country started out as party-affiliated publications. Even more ironic offcourse that the publications that contain quite inf ormative articles  ;about politics and economics you can get in Belgium are actually those of the unions (which are party affiliated), because they have the money to fund such studies.

3rd place is still a medal (none / 0)
America on the other hand is in 20th place. Quite ironic when you always hear them shout about their freedom of speech and freedom of press.

Both seems to be better in socialist countries.
