Im very surprised by this. I would rate the US near number 1. The Iranian FM is allowed to speak to the American people any time he likes in any news show. I cant imagine Hitler being allowed to speak on the BBC in ww2 or Churchill being allowed to speak in german radio.

The media routinely publishes things like locations of aircraft carriers and up to date information regarding sensitive ops like the rescue of that pilot.

The media also keeps a running tally of the expenditures of US ammunition and feeds that to the enemy.

Any one of these would have gotten you taken down in ww2.

Mein Kampf was one of the exempted books from wartime limits in Britain. The British decided they wanted their people to be able to read Hitler's book.
