True no real proof so one must conclude russian journalist who are critical of the goverment suffer from a very rare disease of dropdeaditis, symptons include bullets in the head and radiation sickness. If you are a journalist and suffer from these things seek medical attention quickly.
Re: How often does U.S. Government kill its own journalists and reporters?
In the states all the journalists i have seen are still alive so.
Russia is barbaric in killing thier own journalists and is usually for political reasons. Do they have no decency? Killing journalists and especially female journalist is completely uncivilized! Especially that Anna girl who was reporting the Chechnya conflict ended up killed days later. Then the Ex-kgb in England who suffered radiation poisoning..
Makes me sad how evil people can be..

So there's no doubt it must be the Government then?
Re: How often does U.S. Government kill its own journalists and reporters?
Well, that Ex-Kgb guy was telling the western world and europe about the KGB secrets and when he as poisoned by radiation, he said "And to the man who is resposible for my current condition: Putin you are a barbaric man, etc.."
There is evidence right there. Also it's obvious since russia lacks decent human rights and they are populist because they want to look good to the world by censoring the crap they do inside etc.

Um not at all because if it did graveyards would be full of them given the stuff most our media spews out. If anything various goverments seek to isolate certain reporters, not call on them, give them crappy seating in the back etc.

Re: How often does U.S. Government kill its own journalists and reporters?
More journalists have been killed in the last few years because they embed themselves at the frontlines. Wether they actually get killed by their own governments who knows and some days I find it hard to be concerned, it is not that I won't to see anyone die, we are just getting immune to all the suffering.

Yes, how dare he suggest that Litvinenko was poisoned by Lugovoi. I mean, that's trash from start to finish, isn't it? Like the fact that the teacup that poisoned Litvinenko was found in Lugovoi's hotel room and that he was poisoned when he met with him. Trash! That the hotel rooms that Lugovoi stayed in and the plane he arrived from Russia on were contaminated with the same radiation. Trash!
What a retarded conspiracy theory. You would have to be really stupid to believe all that evidence.
