Re: Anyhow, I received an email with a really good idea: Go to Google News and search for stories about “human rights abuses xxx” where xxx is the name of a country. Let’s see the results as of this moment.



While interesting, this is not a fair comparison. Stories on human rights abuses in the USA will have many more sources on Google news as ours is a free and open society with competing news sources, and many of them. And many of these pieces are merely the same story in a different paper. So while interesting, I would not read too much into those numbers.
