    The bottom 5 countries are Eritrea, North Korea, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia in that order. The US has a score of 62.61 and Eritrea has apparently been dead last for the past 3 years.

    What the hell is this metric? Israel has been killing journalists in Palestine, but those stats mostly influence Palestine’s score, not Israel’s. 0 journalists killed in Israel, while true, hardly paints a correct picture of the situation… Basically, if you can export your journalistic suppression, you’re in the clear.

        It’s not as red as Palestine. Israel has been killing more journalists than the dark red countries combined, yet still gets to be medium red.
