They are lucky to just be called fake while real old fashioned journalist are the ones taking the heat and not complaining.

This statement sounds a little like it came out of 'Keeper of the Flame'. Poor little liberal journalists! As a victim of an attack by a TV idiot, I cannot be sympathetic with liars.

I don't know of Any leftest journalist that have been attacked violently, lost their jobs OR been band on social media.

"The hatred of journalists that is voiced ... by unscrupulous politicians, religious leaders and businessmen has tragic consequences on the ground, and has been reflected in this disturbing increase in violations against journalists," Secretary-General Christophe Deloire said in a statement."

Well deserved.

"Professional journalist" is an oxymoron.
