I guess they haven’t seen our news outlets.
Everyone here can talk all the shit they want about our government without fear of going to jail.

Nevermind the raging dictator at the helm.

This is right on the fascist schedule. Take down institutions. Good that we have other press outlets but with less resources. Internet YouTubers do t have the resources to maintain foreign bureaus to provide coverage of foreign events, etc.

How are they reporting on CNN that the US was downgraded due to lack of press freedom if they supposedly lack the freedom to report such things?

Fascism is full swing. No one should be surprised at what is happening; everyone was warned what this pedophile conman would do.

For those who don’t know, the V-Dem dataset is basically the gold standard in political science for quantifying information. It is a core element that we use to understand global politics and international relations.

Censorship is already going on, just going to continue to increase as local stations bought up by billionaires

They shouldn’t *be* on the democracy index right now. The same applies to a fair few other countries.

Well, to be fair, the world is heading into rough waters. Democracies are not exactly geared towards war.
We’ll for sure see a degradation of civil liberties in the western world in the next half decade or less, and a rise in authoritarian “moves”.
Its not good, its not bad. It’s just consequence.
But mostly it will be butt-hurt bad.

That’s crazy. How many people are going to move elsewhere? Since the US is so bad?
