yesterday published a report of Reporters Without Borders "
In order to proceed to discuss some of the highlights of this report, we need to understand what this organization and what she breathes. "
information from Wikipedia: Reporters Without Borders is an international non-governmental organization advocating for freedom of expression worldwide. The organization fights against censorship and for the release of journalists imprisoned because of their professional activities. In this case, the organization relies in paragraph 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. organization was founded in 1 985godu in Paris.
created something it is in Paris, but if you go to site , we can see that the emphasis is on the U.S.. Under "About Us", there is no section of Reporters Without Borders in France, "but" Reporters Without Borders in the U.S.. "I think no one even doubted that they are oriented primarily to the States.
Now to yesterday publication ranking. I, initially, most of it was interesting how things have changed the position of Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Poland in this list. Not thinking about Russia, it and so, according to a "free" organization, is somewhere on the level of Iraq. I did not think about China, and so clear, where it will be ...
Why am I interested in these countries?
In these general changes have occurred ... Although varying degrees. Ukraine-establishment of relations with Russia. Pro-Russian president. Signed an agreement on the Black Sea Fleet. Frequent trips to Russia, Yanukovich.
Kyrgyzstan - change of power (this I wrote an article titled "Again troubled Bakiyev. The history of the Kyrgyz revolution after half a year" - http://sergeypolitnews.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-post. html )
current rule was largely pro-Russian than the previous one. While the previous one, was brought to power the West and served for the West.
Poland-up to the tragedy of the highest by Poland, Russia's relations with it were no. Now, on the contrary, active negotiations, officials meet to discuss different issues. That is, to some extent, an anti-Russian policies of Poland has changed ...
So, I think, to read the ratings, something had to change ...
"The document's authors attributed sharp drop Ukraine's rating (from 90 th to 131 th) with a" stable deterioration "of press freedom since the election of Viktor Yanukovych president in February 2010. in Ukrainian media space, according to Reporters Without Borders, returns to censorship, there are also conflicts of interest. Philippines, Ukraine, Greece and Kyrgyzstan are leaders to drop in the level of press freedom in the current year "-But Poland has risen by rating. What surprised me." Although I think their "misconduct" You can not ignore. After all, Americans have all there are still plans for missile defense. And Poland in the matter is very necessary!

And where, according to Reporters Without Borders "is a good trend to promote freedom of expression and stability in this matter? Of course, in Japan, Australia, USA, Canada, Great Britain. It is not a simple yet they all stand side by side in one list- http://en.rsf.org/press-freedom-index-2010, 1034.html
One well-known German journalist at the press conference said the following:
"organization criticizes only hostile With Sha countries, such as K Uba , Belarus or Russia. At the same time friendly regimes the United States, such as, for example, the Philippines or Saudi Arabia, where freedom of speech is almost entirely absent, are not subject to any criticism by this organization. Also available estimation with respect to freedom of speech in Western countries themselves "Yes, indeed, in CA to execute people on the street, and the" democratic "reports about human rights "Halfbacks" does not remember and do not despise the Saudi Arabia ...
Why do we still believe and hope that some kind of alien organization will praise us? Why are we all still dependent on their assessment? This is their assessment! Let's create another organization, with its center in Moscow, she will be objective? Never!
Waiting for your comments ...
