There can be no freedom of the press when 3 to 5 super-media type businesses own 95% of all the media outlets….they will only publish what they consider news…and tell you only what they want you to know…We have LESS freedom of the Press in the USA than the Germans in pre WWII or the people under the Commie regimes past and present…Most people sit like fat hogs for the slaughter in front of their boob tubes everyday sucking in the lies
Haha they disabled comments on the usher video because it was such a bad list.
Freedom of the press is overrated. As long as the press is owned by private individuals or corporations, it will always be self-serving. So there.
The "Supreme Law of the Land" is the Constitution, and freedom of the press is part of the first rule of the Constitution. Somebody should get fired for this.
Interesting video, but the attacks on bloggers/press you mention are not freedom of the press or free speech problems: they are freedom of religion problems. If Muslim Militants kill a blogger, the government had nothing to do with it, so it's not a press issue, it's an issue with a religion who believes itself to be the final monotheism, who has so many interpretations of its source material that one sect can believe heavens contains grapes and the other translates grapes as virgins, allowing too many to be violent and feel religiously entitled to it. No matter what you think about Islam, agree with me or not, these were NOT press/government issues.
Did anybody remember MSN?
LAME!
One country was below North Korea? Whoa.
top 10 religions
We have many rights, but the right to not be offended is not one of them. People need to grow up and stop getting all butthurt over words. Likewise, however, one should remember that though you can say whatever you wish, that doesn't mean someone won't knock your lights out for it.
Freedom of press: The power of people with enough money to buy a media business to publish whatever they want in order to defend their own point of view and businesses
I did! Useful info!
I love watch mojo news
What kind of fucking moron thinks they are guaranteed to be published just because they put words on a page? If you find someone that dumb, slap them for me, please.
there is no Freedom of the Press
Raif is a biatch who deserves to be jailed enough said smh.
"Hey, what're in for?"

"That's rough bro"
bernie sanders save us
Free Bradley Manning.

Did you notice something – most countries who curb freedom of speech or media are third world country. (my country included).
@Watchmojo wtf is up with the chick at 0:44 you dont just use her in every WMNews relating to the net but apparently even multiple times
I just  hope youtube hears this.
jesus, you got 9 mill subs….
Fuck the government
Inasmuch as the media have been abusing their freedom for decades by lying their faces off right, left, and centre, I can't work up much sympathy if someone does come down hard on them. However, I am opposed to bloggers etc. being persecuted, because no matter how ridiculous their outlook, they aren't institutions claiming to bring us the truth, just private citizens giving opinions, which are pretty worthless, if you understand the definition of "opinion".
Finland the true country of freedom 😛 (im from germany btw)
that human growing from the ground plane at 1:14 was creepy
Always appreciate your balanced view of things.

WOW can you smell the propaganda? Notice how in the last part, the part you will remember the most, they try too move the goalposts and say freedom of speech needs to be a balancing act. We need to protect all speech because governments will always try to limit unpopular and hateful speech first, getting their foot in the door and then will keep on changing what is considered free speech. There has already been all kinds of "hate speech" legislation enacted in the US, Canada, and much of Europe, like for instance you can't criticize the genocidal, apartheid state of Israhell.
Journalism has become a minefield due to political correctness and perpetually offended people everywhere, which means no truth, because not everybody likes it.
This series is organized so poorly. Stick to your normal top 10's.
It's not considered a violation if it's illegal in a certain country. When you live in a country you gotta follow the law of the land. Just like what happens when people visit the U.S. They follow the laws by paying taxes and fees. Speaking of which.
Why don't you do a top ten war criminals?
Please do top 10 list about top ten channels doing top ten list
It's all well and good having freedom of the press until journalists and news papers release the names of innocent people accused of crimes they haven't committed, I.e. Sexual offences, murders etc. or when paparazzi begin harassing people. I mean, we just have to look at the phone hacking scandals. There needs to be limits and regulations put in place to prevent this.
What do you guys think of Buzzfeed and Gawker? With their pseudo-feminist views on the world.
Is being called hypocrites getting to you you fucking liberal sluts
Huh. I guess the current round of American police reaming the black community was too topical to handle.
Shows how Governments of both the State and Federal try to oppress their people by bullying, arrests or even worth!!! World Leaders (used sarcastically) are a joke and should be taught with the same tortures they use on others!!
our copy right laws completely ignore freedom of the press
Freedom of the Press I believe start from the Government situation to allow the press to publish all in their favor, and against the opposition, creating in some occasions smoke curtains to hide some imperfections or little mistakes of the government.
Freedom of the press IS NOT FREE.
love the channel I think Watchmojo should make a channel just for news because you guys do such a great job covering these stories it would be awesome to see more news from your channel
You know how at the beginning of each watchmojo video, she'll say a humorous sentence? Well, for this video I thought she was going to say something like, "Sometimes you can't always say what you want. Welcome to watchmojo.com etc."
