I'll bet their people have a lot less freedom than even the USA today.

Some countries with better freedom of the press than the USA:

Freedom of the press is one thing. Monopoly ownership of the press is
another. But you're right about one thing. If the Democrats get their way,
freedom of the press will be severely hamstrung by government censorship in
the USA.

Western hemisphere: Dominican Republic, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, Costa
Rica, Suriname, Jamaica.
