The number of journalists and media workers killed while doing their job in 2022 has increased by more than 40% compared to last year, according to a new report released Friday.

The International Federation of Journalists says that 67 media professionals were killed on the job in targeted attacks so far this year — up from 47 in 2021 — a reversal of the decline seen in recent years.

“The surge in the killings of journalists and other media workers is a grave cause of concern and yet another wake-up call for governments across the globe to take action in the defense of journalism, one of the key pillars of democracy,” IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said in a statement.

Sort of like Chinese pouring soldiers into the Korean conflict , Vietnam War and other arenas. No matter how many were gone people said “They still have 1.412 billion left.”

Note: from Business Insider:
China militarily supported North Vietnam by fighting South Vietnam and the United States in the Vietnam War.
More than 300,000 Chinese troops served in Vietnam between 1965 and 1969, with some 1,100 killed and 4,300 wounded.

Santa Claus ad caption....

Girl: Santa, that “Coke” is different from the “coke” the school drag queens handed out to us second graders at the Gender Bender party. It was a white powder. Mom and dad got angry but then the police came and arrested them for being anti-LGBTQ.

Poor things. When it reaches the level of fisherman, farmers, cops, construction workers, etc., get back to me and I might give a da*n.

Also, I know that one was killed by a leftist politician who was afraid of light being shone on his corruption. Plus, it is the leftists who insist on letting all criminals do as they will without repercussions. So, as I said, get back to me when it is a serious matter to which I should be concerned.

Santa ad.....

Good to see Santa got out of prison. He was saying “Ho, Ho, Ho” when three women happened to be walking by.

Well, it’s a start.

The one profession hated more than lawyers. The only profession more scummy is psychiatrists.

Anyone with a Twitter account is probably now counted as a “journalist”.
