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.

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

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.

You missed this modern one.

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

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 who target journalists...
