I'm truly intrigued by measurements of this type, as I think they can lead to productive discussion. However, even after reading their site on multiple occasions I can't tell you what it measures, except possibly the degree to which journalists *think* they are "free".

Seeing what is happening in Sweden with their migrants and the press largely hiding it I am dumbfounded as to how they have a #2 rating. Would be interesting to see the criteria.
