Only 68 devils killed? For how much you “journalists” work against the interests of The American People, and for how much you benefit corporatism, I am surprised there hasn’t been 1000s hung in public. Only if justice still happened…

jUrinealist(sic), lawyers, politicians – all the same. Who really cares what happens to these low life creatures? They have trashed the USA (now known as the USSA)and expect us to have some kind of sympathy. Thanks for the laugh of the day, Michelle. How about we all chip in and buy one way tickets to Iran for all of them?

GOOD GRIEF, go around propagandizing then get killed, crap happens. When it starts happening in the homeland don’t expect any tears form the serfs that you work against.

Sorry to see journalist are viewed in such a bad way. I guess they brought it upon themselves. What a shame.

Context is EVERYTHING. Funny, I don’t know a single journalist who includes it in their writing. Appears the tone here is gratitude and no sense of loss. Freedom of the press requires you support it, not subvert it. I know their families miss them but likely were not happy with their carreer choice either and so it goes.

I hope they worked for NY Times, Washington Post, Reuters or AP. (I reckon if I was in a war and had this journalist creep with me distorting the truth and praising the enemy I’d consider sparing a bullet for them as well.)
