The Committee to Protect Journalists sounds like some NSA Orwellian hit squad out to insure the "well-being" of the self-anointed protectors of the Republic.

It seems secretly installed programs by the NSA on journalists' computers were designed to explode when detecting the words "Obama" and "fudgepacker" in the same sentence.

It must be news because they think so.

U.S. newsreaders sit behind their desks and point to stats like this to “prove” how brave they are.

How many of them died covering the story of how many Christians are slaughtered in 2013?
It is sad when anyone is killed; but, you get my point.

I’m sure most were local subcontract personnel. The lard assed liberal journalists in this country these days are seldom known to risk their pink skin for any reason.

Journalists like to think of themselves as some kind of truth-seeking crusading heroes and— if they get killed— as martyrs. Ever notice how many heroes in television and movies are reporters or writers? Who do you think writes that slop?

Since most journalism today is done behind an anchor desk or a computer screen, I find this statistic hard to believe.

Journalists take on the scum of the earth in many countries and without being armed with anything beyond a pen. We should all give a prayer of thanks for the real journalists ... many are heroes... Prayers for the families and loved ones.

It’s a good start. But let’s see if we can’t double that for next year!

Journalists killed?

Sounds cold, but come on, IMHO, I don’t care about the gawd-darned, self-centered, blow-dried, teleprompter reading, Pulitzer-seeking “reporters” who never spent a day in the military and are only there for themselves. . .but that’s just me.

Report: 70 Journalists Killed on the Job in 2013

Trifles! When it gets to 7,000 or 70,000 per year, then I'd say we're making some progress.

90% of journalists admit they are communist or socialist.

Another six or eight percent are just flat-out lying.

They should probably educate themselves on the area before jumping in and thinking everyone is going to welcome them and want to tell their story...Jihadist don’t need the press anymore - they have Internet and Blogs....News personalities is irrelevant at this point!

Only 70? Makes it one of the least dangerous jobs of all.

You know, I was looking at this and wondering if this was supposed to make me cry, or shed some kind of moisture out of my tear ducts for some reason...

Nope...Not even close...
