I’m stuck right there. Nominally…in the name? or something like this:
Or historically named/labeled socialist? Or current Democratic Socialist countries? And what type of press freedom? Seems like it would be a semester class in college to answer that, and would veer into philosophy at a minimum.
I still don’t know word “nominally” is supposed to mean, even after being awarded certificate of competency in a scientific field related to the mathematics. Guess that’s politic speak for ya (me)
I do not agree with the other poster and I fully wish we adopted a more Nordic economic model, but they’re still capitalist with much more socialism to prop up those who need it.
Name any nominally socialist country where the press wasn’t more tightly controlled than it ever was in the US.

I don’t know why Greenland is pink in that picture. The liberals (right of center) won the latest election.
Ugh, the color choices for ‘former’ versus ‘socialist ruling party’ are impossible for color blind folks…
You think the press is more free in Russia than the US?
Closer every day
You people are so funny.
Great retort bud.

Not more tankie hanky panky! Is this tankie in the thread with us rn?
The guy who got his knickers in a twist over me referring to “nominally socialist” countries would count in my book.

The state is not the only system of consolidated power.
The press obviously is tightly controlled by its wealthy owners.
The question is who is controlling the press and to what ends? Almost all press is controlled.
Denmark. The Netherlands. Norway. Quality of journalism is generally better in the EU anyway.
Those countries are capitalist.

I’m honestly lost for words.
Yeah, people complain about billionaires owning the press. Which is a fair thing to complain about.
However… In communist countries, not only did the billionaires also own the press, they sent you to the gulag if you complained about it.
