Don't tell that to the Japanese who do not have the right to bear arms and have an effective gun murder rate of zero. They don't appear all that oppressed to me.

I personally think a free press is pretty darn important. The United States is only 32nd on the list so we aren't doing so well in that arena.

the people are at the mercy of the government in that case.

oh, and let's not forget that japan is 98% japanese, and completely different culturally.

freedom of the press, is absolutely important, but seems to be less meaningful as our press moves more and more towards entertainment than actual news
