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.

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.
