I can make $100 a day slicing salami in a deli. What's 11,000 Iraqi Lira in US currency?

[b4its2late]

Bad career direction choice gone worse.

“What’s 11,000 Iraqi Lira in US currency?”

Not very good because Iraq uses Dinars and not Lira. 11,000 dinar is about $10 US.

Turkey uses the Lira

“It is a pitiful wage for a potential suicide bomber, but enough to tempt an eighteen-year-old stuck in a war.”

?

[Eleutheria5]

So he got ten times that working for Reuters, every time he went into a combat zone without a helmet or flack jacket. Talk about exploitation.

[I want the USA back]

He wanted to join the terrorists and they killed him? good.

[Eleutheria5]

Not only that, they offered him a lousy salary, so instead he went to work for Reuters.

[dead]

Among the roughly 300 killed during intense fighting in Aleppo was Molhem Barakat, a Reuters photographer.

Hopefully somebody had the decency to place stuffed toy near his body before taking pictures.

Manufactured poignancy adds to the marketability of the shot.

>>“Barakat”

Well, that’s an interesting name.<<

It is also called “Chemin Fer de.”

[Eleutheria5]

They forgot. Can they crop it in?

[Vendome]

Guess the interview process blew up in his face....

Sad. There are plenty of resources these days to counsel on getting that next job.

[Gaffer]

I wonder how many sympathetic refugee/victim/slain Muslim Child pictures/vides he is responsible for?

[Eleutheria5]

Sure. He shouldn’t have listened to the Reuters guy who said, “Hey, kid! I’ll give ya a hundred American if you go over there and take a picture!” and then punched his friend’s shoulder and said, “he’s doin’ it! How much ya wanna bet he doesn’t get his head blown off?” and had another beer.

[Eleutheria5]

That they leave to the pros. Wouldn’t want them getting hurt.

[Domangart]

The real story here is the continued killing of known kooks.

[spawn44]

REUTERS is made of of leftists frauds who support terrorism. These frauds ban you if you get in their face and tell them they suck.

[GeronL]

Just a normal Journ_O_lister then

[a fool in paradise]

Photojournalists claim to be neutral observers but many are aware that they serve to propagandize events and persons.

Those who knowingly deceive on behalf of evil may get what they deserve in the end.
