Mexico tied for first . . . nothing to see here folks, move along.

Interestingly . . . . dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi was not mentioned. Thinking this group knows something alot of so-called main-stream media do not know!

Aren’t journalists and politicians, basically, the same thing?

We don't really have many journalists in this country, just propagandists for the Democrat party.

Four so-called journalists were killed in Annapolis, Maryland, on June 28, 2018. They were reporters for The Capital, and were victims of a mass shooting at the newspaper's office.

Well, they all want to be part of the story instead of just reporting it. They are getting their wish.

Exactly. Real journalists who are killed fighting true corruption in cesspool countries should be honored.

Unfortunately, CNN (and most American so-called journalists) think shooting spitballs at Trump “scandals” from the comfort and safety of Georgetown and Upper West Side watering holes amount to bravery.

The Clintons killed a couple of people during the last election. Many more before that. Shot one in the back and the other dropped a barbell on a guys throat who was scheduled to testify against the Clintons in 2 days.

Imagine if she was president. Mexican news sites would be writing about how bad it is in the US and caution their people from going there.

Nothing. The clerk down at the Stop-n-Rob has done more good for me, over the years, than any number of Big Media liars.
