      I have to say, I feel less safe as a journalist in America these days than I ever did in Russia. A lot less safe.

      I don’t doubt journalists feel unsafe. I don’t doubt that, especially in the current climate, they actually *are* in greater danger. But these sorts of reality-bending hyperboles are not helpful.

      But it's not necessarily hyperbolic to suggest that a foreign journalist in Russia faces less imminent threats than a US-based journalist in the US.

      1) She made a rather general statement, so deserves a response to what she actually said, 2) I think that depends on where the foreign journalist is from.

      Replying to @SarahTheHaider

      Yeah, I suppose. It was clearly a statement about her personal experience (which looks complicated), but was worded to seem more all-encompassing. Either way, if journalists perceive a heightened domestic threat, that should be cause for compassion rather than eye-rolling, no?

      I am compassionate towards those feeling threated, particularly journalists. I am not compassionate towards downplaying the tragedies of other lands to add rhetorical weight to the direness of one's own situation. Julia made the same move re: ISIS today.

          I'm unsure it's downplaying here? Unless I'm mistaken, she never said being a journalist in Russia isn't dangerous. But I do agree that a lot of public figures spend too much time reframing issues (often to be US-centric). And yes, her ISIS comment was stupid

          Except, objectively, being a journalist in Russia is far more dangerous. Comparing her situation to theirs - as if hers was worse -is kinda disgusting.

          Replying to @Oneoneder @SarahTheHaider

          As far as I could tell, she only compared her own situation (in the US) to her own situation (in Russia). Her message is counter-intuitive yes, but not entirely outlandish
