UNESCO reports surge in journalist killings

One journalist was killed every four days in 2022-2023, a new report by the UN's cultural body says. The majority of the crimes went unpunished.

Note that journalists are murdered for exposing corruption, crime and political double dealing.

This is why they are essential to the maintenance of a free society. This is also why they are hated by dictators, big businesses and any oppressive heads of state who don’t want to hear real truth and not just their own lies and “alternative facts”.

Given the depressing polarisation of society, conspiracy theory cranks and general (unintended) ignorance, we need them more than ever.

"the report said the most dangerous areas for journalists are Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as Arab countries.

North America and Western Europe were the least dangerous regions for journalists, with six killings."


Drug cartels and radicals are the problem, they don't give a rat's ass who they kill.

Why would someone decide to

Generation Z runs from 1997-2012, or people 13-28. How many in that age group do you think could afford an $80,000 truck?

Roughly anywhere from 4 to 8 percent can afford to buy a pickup truck, keep in mind there are young generations who are millionaire in their early twenties.

I’ve seen younger generations millionaire can afford to buy a two hundred thousand dollar car, and a multi million dollar house.

Yes, there are $1500 pickups available, but that is not what you were referring to, right?

Yeah, but your post was more as if it was a common thing with this age demographic.
