CNN* is an obvious US propaganda channel and yet we were all outraged when WikiLeaks revealed that US helicopter pilots gunned down fucking journalists in Iraq.

There are few rules in war.

You do not attack hospitals, first aid responders and journalists, for fucks sake. I don't give a fuck whose "side" this journalist belongs to. They are there to provide information of a battle field that would otherwise be lost.

When Russia attacked a hospital some time in 2022 after the war started, I was disgusted.

What has happened to you people. wtf.

this is an example. I am not trying to bring a "muh but US is doing propaganda too" bullshit take in here.

Rules in war? This entire war is already illegal. Russia shouldn't even be in Ukraine in the first place. And yes, if you're a frontline reporter, then it might happen that you end up in the crossfire, especially from artillery fire. Or do you think Ukraine saw some reporter through their drones and decided to target them? Stop being an apologist for Russia's aggression.

Edit: Also, Russia does not even have a free press, and with that they don't actually have reporters, but propagandists.

Could you name me a legal war? What kind of contract is there to sign for a war?

AFAIK he was standing right next to an MRLS shooting at the Ukrainian forces, and the Ukrainian forces shot back.

And I'm talking about desensitized comments almost cheering for and ridiculing the death of a Russian journalist (or evil propagandis, which makes it a-ok). Journalists know what they're signing up for when reporting out of war zones. It happens.

You still don't need to fucking be glib about it. That's all. I'm out of this discussion. You're all lost.
