    • The Saudis kidnapped a journalist and dismembered him, with zero repercussions.
    • The journalist who reported the Panama Papers was assassinated with a car bomb, and nobody gave a shit.
    • Ukraine has been putting journalists on kill lists for years, but you’ll be called a tankie for having a problem with it.
