Philippines most murderous for journalists
Edited on Mon May-02-05 12:58 PM by dArKeR
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Murder is the leading cause of work-related deaths among journalists and most of those killed on the job were not caught in cross-fire in conflict zones but hunted down and murdered, the Committee to Protect Journalists said on Monday.

A study tracking work-related deaths of members of the media since January 1, 2000 found that the Philippines was the most murderous country, followed by Iraq, Colombia, Bangladesh and Russia, the CPJ report found.

"By failing to investigate and punish the killers, the governments in these five countries embolden all those who seek to silence the press through violence," CPJ Executive Director Ann Cooper said in a statement.

Now we know what aWol meant when he ran away from America to the PI and said "The Philippines is the model of Democracy for all the world to follow."

Murder journalists, child rape and child whores all over the streets of the PI (and 1 block from Arroyo's (or Saddam's Palace? I get mixed up!) Palace, the PI has been under the wing of the USA since we installed Marcos "The Butcher" 50 years ago. Before that time the PI was the leader of the region in rice production and other economic and cultural areas... but since being under the wing of the USA and Christianity the PI has become a cesspool of child rapes, child whores, murder, filth, poverty and economic collapse.. Well done America!

Good to know the American Media Whore are right on top of their game bringing the Christian truth to you!

1. We don't hear much about the conditions in the Philippines
now we see why, they kill all the messengers.

This situation in the Philippines is what we want to happen to Cuba, and it is what South America is trying to dig themselves out of.

4. But, But . . . Iraq
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=8371526

Reporters without Borders listed Iraq as the most dangerous country in the world for journalists: "Nineteen were killed in 2004 and more than 15 were taken hostage."

A total of 56 journalists and their assistants have been killed in two years in Iraq, making it more dangerous than the 1991-1995 fighting in former Yugoslavia, during which 49 journalists were killed, it said.

A total of 63 journalists were killed in Vietnam, the worst war for journalists, but that was over a 20-year period from 1955 to 1975, it

added.

5. US MSM wouldn't have the spine to report from a DMV
let alone a treacherous, dangerous environment like this. Instead our whores drive their bulletproof Mercedes and cover SchiavoGate and Runway BrideGate :grr:
only real journalists risk their lives in pursuit of the real issues...
