United States added to list of most dangerous countries for journalists for first time
"At least 63 professional journalists were killed doing their jobs in 2018, a 15 percent increase over last year, said the group, Reporters Without Borders. The number of deaths rises to 80 when all media workers and people classified as citizen journalists are included,
it said in its annual report."
"The world's five deadliest countries for journalists include three — India, Mexico and, for the first time, the United States — where journalists were killed in cold blood, even though those countries weren't at war or in conflict, the group said."
"Meanwhile, the shooting deaths of
five employees of the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland, in June propelled the United States into the ranks of the most dangerous countries for the first time."
So basically five people are killed because someone is crazy and acts out a long-standing vendetta against a newspaper, and that now labels the U.S. as a dangerous place for journalists throughout the country and reflects some growing danger about the safety of American journalists, where they are apparently being gunned down in cold blood.
If you don't want to get called "Fake News," don't print stuff like this.
