#1 Had a quick peek at the IFJ website but couldn't find an actual list of journalists' names and their organisations.

#2 Bull, one would think if any place on the web they would have the listing.

#3 "The crisis of news safety has reached an intolerable level and must be addressed urgently."

And how, pray tell, will they "address" it? Aiden, baby, you're a moron. I guess I'll belay the "that's a good start" comment. No, I won't say it. Don't try to make me, either. Nope, not gonna do it.

#4 OK, .com. I won't either. But I cant resist,

People, why do they hate journalists?

#5 Um, good sense? A deep dislike, distrust, and disdain for arrogant self-righteous opinion whores who literally sold their souls for imagined fame?

I could be wrong, of course. Double-heh.

#7 I think journalists do a fine job of addressing their own safety. They know American's won't kill them, so they report favorably for the other side. Pretty closely matches their morality and their politics, too.

#8 HU-AH!!!!
There are only two things equally as loathsome as journalists. Politicians and lawyers.
Screw'em, I've always hated them. They aren't in the war zones for anyone but themselves. They could give a shit less about the civilians or soldiers and would like nothing more than to have an American soldier get shot on tape.
They're arrogant, whining, self-important asses and I could care less. Better one of them than one of our soldiers.
Sorry Fred, I better cut this one short before I stop holding back and tell everyone how I really feel about them.

#9 Haven't been any worthwhile war journalists since Ernie Pyle and Bill Mauldin died. "Up Front" is an unrecognised classic. Read it many times.

#10 Badanov - You hit the nail squarely on the head.

Unfortunately for them, it's still not protecting them.

Awwwwwwww....

#11 Gee, if it's all that dangerous out there in the big bad world, why don't they just stay home and make stuff up?

Oh, wait...

#12 I'm surprised it's so few, considering the company they keep.
