MEDIA -- U.S. GETS LOW MARKS FOR FREEDOM: Reporters Without Borders, a group that evaluates freedom of the press throughout the world, ranked the United States "22nd (http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=24&art_id=qw1098900720156B253) alongside Belgium and behind countries including Bosnia, France and Trinidad and Tobago on a media freedom index released this week." The report cited "violations of source confidentiality, persistent problems in granting press visas and the arrest of several journalists during anti-Bush demonstrations (http://www.washingtontimes.com/world/20041027-095715-6060r.htm) ." Iraq ranked 148th and was described by the group as "the most deadly place on Earth for journalists in recent years."
