Reporters Without Borders: U.S. 47th in world press freedom index. Fell 27 pts.

The fall in ranking was due largely because of the arrests of journalists during OWS protests.

At least US isn't the worst. These days I'm proud when the USA manages to come out somewhere in the middle, on these rankings.
