I know you're just trolling, but nowhere did I say those countries were good, and certainly not a pantheon (I don't think that's the word you're looking for, by the way) of human rights.
I was not making any moral judgements, merely pointing out how certain narratives and entities are trotted out again and again to trigger emotional responses in people to get them to do what the government or media wants.
Let's say China, Russia, and Iran are 100% Bad™. I'm still going to be suspicious of the people telling me how bad they are, to get me to believe or go along with things I normally wouldn't agree with. I don't care if the Axis of Evil is bad...so is censoring the internet, in this example. These entities being good or bad is completely irrelevant.
