I would agree that the US is becoming less free by the year. The information most Americans recieve is what the Media Moguls want to tell them.

"Less free" means you are comparing the current state to the past state.
Is it less free today than when millions were enslaved?
Is it less free today than when women couldn't vote?
Is it less free today than when it was illegal to drink alcohol?
Is it less free than when the McCarran Act was passed?
Is it less free today than when 100,000 Japanese
Americans were forced into camps?
Is it less free today than when Rosa Parks was arrested for sitting at the front of the bus?
We've gone from categorical denial of rights and freedoms to isolated incidents. Freedom up. Tyranny down/
