    177 journalists have been killed in the Philippines since 1986, making it among the deadliest countries to be a journalist. Hah, hah, hah. https://twitter.com/gabrielsnyder/status/929958832280915968 …

        That would be enough for Trump to grant most favorable status to. The US president should not be on foreign soil bashing his country.

        The GOP is afraid to stand up against him, the are forsaking their own supposed morality. In the end, the conservatives will die an ugly death.

        @WhiteHouse @SenateGOP @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP @realDonaldTrump Freedom of the press is essential to a democracy. Americans fight to protect this freedom and Trump laughs while a dictator disrespects the ideals of this country. Stand up to this dictator fanboy.

        Gianforte seated in US Congress after physically assaulting a reporter for asking questions. I guess 45/GOP has much to learn from Duterte.

        One of the craziest things here is that Duterte is deadly serious, and Trump has no effing idea and thinks he’s making a dumb joke like Trump did when he said all the press corp kids were better than their parents on Halloween. He has NO EFFING CLUE what the big leagues are.

        All our politicians are guilty of cosying upto revenues where journalists are murdered, arrested & tortured. It’s not not specific to the US. Look at the politicians who parade themselves on RT or PressTV

        True. Interestingly- the USA has a higher rate of journalists murdered than Iran- but Iran ranks lower on the press freedom index cos of all the unjust imprisonment. China scores worth than both in all aspects- they focus on domestic journalism so it doesn't come up here much

        Good journalists will always be loathed and under attack as long as corruption exists- it means they're doing their job.

        It’s not that surprising any more. We’ve ignored human rights in China & Russia for far too long & trump sees journalists as the enemy
