In this video, Chris Cillizza discusses the alarming decline of press freedom in the United States, as reported by Reporters Without Borders in their 2025 World Press Freedom Index. The U.S. ranks 57th out of 180 countries—its lowest ever—placing it in the "problematic" category for the second year in a row. Cillizza highlights two main causes for the drop: a growing hostility toward journalists in the social environment and worsening economic conditions for the media, particularly at the local level. He warns that these trends threaten the health of American democracy and emphasizes the critical importance of supporting independent journalism.
