A Boring Dystopia

The WWII number is ridiculous - are they saying that among the millions of civilians that died, there were only 69 journalists?

The Vietnam number isn't right either - it counts only journalists on the American side.

Generally when you see someone claim that anything is worse than WWII, they're not telling the truth. Even the Hamas attack wasn't as bad as a normal day during that war.

Uh no Israel are the good guys. They told me so.

Israel bombed a press squad last week with all the right equipment and a clearly marked press sign on vehicle near the Lebanese border. There were no other people near them.

The IDF terrorists could easily see from their drone that they were journalists. Yet they still bombed them. These are israeli terror attacks hoping to deter journalist from covering their war crimes.

Also this one nearly missing a squad of journalists is very a clearly Targeted IDF terror attack.

During WWII American combat medics stopped wearing red crosses because Japanese soldiers would prioritize killing medics, which was a war crime. Seems like journalists might unfortunately need to stop marking themselves as journalists.

Just asking, is this mostly due to more journalists, or due to more people calling themselves journalists? Or both

I can’t find any source for the numbers from Vietnam and WW2 in the linked sources.

As upsetting as that number is, this is an absolutely meaningless comparison and is pretty misleading to compare them. That number should stand on its own.

I know, this isn't a fun question, but it's honest curiosity..

Do you think a contributing factor in the number difference is the amount of modern "journalist"? Like bloggers being considered journalists?

But in the end, it's all fucked up and every death is a tragedy, no matter the profession or side.

This claim is almost as stupid as thwt israeli delegation that wore David stars to say that Jews were treated just as bad now as they were during WWII. Not entirely as stupid, but close enough.

WWII killed 69 journalists? Really? right there

Show me proof they were targeted. Hanging out in a battlefield while bombs are falling, doesn't mean you were the target

Conclusion is, there are a lot more journalists around war situations now, willing to take a lot of risk, than there were in older days.

Joke asside though, it's too many deaths, not only on journalists but in all

This artificial Zionist State that proclaims itself "Israel" has nothing to do with the biblical Israel that the great Christian mass believes in. Get real

Not to diminish their journalistic qualities, but some of them are clearly on the level of "Russia Today" but in arab edition

So this idiotic claim implies that among millions of Jews and millions of Chinese slaughtered there were exactly 69 journalists. Bullshit.

Also if those same "journalists" behave like this medic did where he left injured person lying on the ground and instead took his gun so other person can keep shooting, am not surprised one bit.

Those that target journalists are declaring war on the truth itself

Very poetic and all, but utterly devoid of pragmatism. The western world has lost its thread and failed to understand the importance of its moral positioning.

Wikileaks

Snowden

Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi

The west and western journalism have learned and presented as fact all the wrong lessons from this time in history. We need stronger protections for journalism and free speech and assuming the value of morality to be enough to protect them clearly has not been working.

You missed this modern one.

Well, they were probably all antisemites so it's NBD.

Those who target journalists...
