AreOut,
You have an excellent point, but how can you quantify how much worse, do we count bodies, hypocrisy or what? Finding a metric is no easy task. It just goes to show that philosophical concepts, morality and absolutism go out the window in international politics. Although I'm not sure if Saudi Arabia is the best place to start, but at least it would be a start.
But, to get back to the topic; at least, in the West, we have a press who have the freedom to print what they want. It's just such a shame that most abuse that freedom and perpetuate 'special interests.'
