Say it loud and say it proud: We’re Number 47! We’re Number 47!...If you want to know why the US...is now ranked number 47th...in terms of freedom of the press in the annual ranking put out by Reporters Without Borders...you could ask Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York and himself owner of a huge news organization, or his Chief of Police Raymond Kelly...For that matter you could ask the mayors and police chiefs of Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Boston, Philadelphia, or a host of other cities.
