Another Day Goes By, and Still the Journo's Die...
put a little love in your hearts...
My theory on why Israel's civilian killings have gone unchecked thus far is that we have journOlists, not true journalists, operating out of the United States, primarily... "working from home". Snug with their own families, here and abroad, there is very little bodily risk to "drop in" or "over the phone" journalism. Little risk citing "unnamed sources".
So when the true reporters working on the ground are killed, there's no sense of solidarity that these are people in their own profession being picked off by IDF snipers or drones. It's risk-free, "safe" journalism for the elites today -- look at how many countries Tom Friedman alone can travel to and offer up his unique American expertise on ... /s -- flying in and out, or better yet, just pulling other authors in for a podcast, where they can promote their vanity books about their own experiences.
So here we are. The killings continue unabated... Shabbat Shalom Gesundeit and Merry Christmas too.
