Propaganda for a Price: Reporters Without Borders and the 2016 Press Freedom Index
The annual Press Freedom Index produced by Reporters without
Borders (RSF) is due out on April 20th according to their official
website https://rsf.org/en. The
question is what countries will the international Non-Government
Organization (NGO) declare the worst for press freedoms? No question
Syria would be on top the list as one of the worst due to the civil war
along with Washington’s traditional enemies including Cuba, Russia,
Ecuador, Nicaragua, Venezuela etc. Granted they are problems within
every country in the world when it comes to freedom of the press.
However, the U.S. ranked 49th in the 2015 Press Freedom Index by
Reporters without Borders (RWB) also known as Reporters Sans Frontières
(RSF) due to its pursuit of Wiki leaks founder Julian Assange and the
persecution of New York Times reporter Jim Risen in connection with
Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA officer and whistleblower who was on
trial and convicted of charges under the Espionage Act for giving Mr.
Risen classified government information.
censorship that deserves international attention. For example, the
censorship of the documentary film ’Vaxxed: from Cover-Up to Catastrophe’ that
was supposed to air in the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City by
the Medical establishment who is influential in Washington is an issue
Reporters without Borders should consider. Mike Adams, publisher and
editor of Natural News wrote an article on the censorship committed by
the medical establishment and said
“The censorship of medical truth has reached a
fever pitch as books, films and documentaries are now being maliciously
attacked and censored in a desperate ploy to prevent the public from
learning the truth about cancer, vaccines, antidepressant drugs and
more.”
