Today's Perspective

I make a lot of noise about Press Poodles. I wanna say here and now, these are not the guys I complain about.


Reuters:

Fox News cameraman killed while reporting in Ukraine

Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski was killed in Ukraine after the vehicle in which he was traveling was struck by incoming fire, the U.S. network said on Tuesday.

Zakrzewski, 55, was reporting with another Fox News journalist, Benjamin Hall, on Monday when they came under attack near the capital Kyiv, Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a note to staff. Hall remains in hospital.

He was the second journalist killed covering the Ukraine conflict. Brent Renaud, an American filmmaker and journalist, was shot dead by Russian forces in the town of Irpin in Ukraine's Kyiv region, a regional police chief said on Sunday.

Maybe they fucked up, putting themselves in danger - taking unnecessary risks. Maybe they just got in the way at the wrong time in the wrong place.

I'm sorry that shit happened.

Can I take just a moment, though, and say this: These two guys are no more or less important than the many thousands who've been killed already, and the many more thousands yet to die because of this fucked up ambition for empire.

There's a special place in the bowels of hell for people like Vladimir Putin and the assholes who won't straight-up condemn him for his crimes.
