Did you read the link? I wasn't making the claim, "Reporters without
borders" were. The article documents how they arrived at their conclusion
and rankings.

I already named 13 European nations, over and above that, there were three
non-European nations (Canada, Australia and Costa Rica). So I've named
more than one. Kind'a hurts, doesn't it?

Once again:

Finland, Iceland, Norway, Netherlands, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Portugal,
Sweden, Denark, France, Australia, Belgium, Slovenia, Costa Rica,
Switzerland ... and then comes the US.

Truth hurts.
