Egypt was freer under Mubarak

But that's not why I'm posting this. I'm posting this because Egypt under Mubarak came in at 127 in 2010, Mubarak was forced from office a year ago on Wednesday. And for 2011, Egypt came in at 166.
A press freedom index published by Reporters Without Borders says Egypt fell 39 places during the past year, al-Ahram Online reported Wednesday.Ah, folks, maybe it means they're worse than Mubarak? Aren't you glad we got rid of him, Barack?
Last year Egypt was 127 on the press freedom list but the 2011/12 index placed the country lower at 166.
The group said Egypt's drop reflects the fact that the country's military rulers have continued the practices of Mubarak's dictatorship.
Journalists in Egypt suffered three periods of exceptional violence in February, November and December of 2011, the press freedom organization says.
