Big News Network.com Sunday 12th December, 2004

Fifty-four journalists have been killed this year, the largest toll in a decade, the BBC reported Saturday.

The New York based Committee to Protect Journalists said the Iraq War accounted for the deaths of 23 reporters and crew. Most of those killed in Iraq were Iraqi reporters working for U.S. organizations, the CPJ said.

What we've seen this year is the deliberate targeting of Iraqis who work with westerners and that includes Iraqis working with the western media, said CPJ executive director Ann Cooper.

journalists were killed in Viet Nam? I don't think this many.

2. How many THOUSANDS are dead thanks to "journalists"???...

...who REFUSED to report the facts in the days leading to the Iraq war?

How many thousands are dead beacuse Wolf Blitzer & his wanabees REFUSED to report the lies Bush has been telling us b/f and after this cluster fuck?

Poor fucking babies. Most of these "journalist" are useless- I'd rather them all be dead instead of one single US soldier or one singele innocent Iraqi civillian.

They made their own bed- they all wanted "Americas New War"- somtimes you get what you pray for.

3. I agree, they have blood on their hands.

I can't work up any sympathy. They sowed the wind, they reap the whirlwind.

It is somewhat ironic. The right wingnuts continue to hate them, and now the left does also.

4. Maybe Bush can drop a half ton bomb

on the fox news van.
