Afghanistan is 128th, and Iraq is an absolutely pathetic 153rd. Great job of liberation there.

Eritrea managed to lose to North Korea.

This is the only kind of interview that isn't completely pointless. Why not address the major criticisms from the other side? Even if it's nonsense, 40% of the country believes that nonsense.

I tend to ignore rankings of subjective concepts.

40% of the people believe that nonsense because the press is out of control.  This is how the responsible press operates...

"Press freedom" is overrated.

You guys are citing Fox as an example of "press freedom"? Fox is the very negation of press freedom.

That may be because, of all things, film criticism in North Korea is apparently relatively free. ('Relatively' as in 'relative to the rest of the press in North Korea'.)
