    The "Putin murders journalists" line that every media hack now mindlessly parrots is, of course, lazy reductionism.https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-02-07/how-fair-is-it-to-call-putin-a-killer-as-o-reilly-did …

        "Putin presides over a violent political and legal system in which journalists have been killed" is less catchy though.

        Imagine if US journalists attributed every death which occurs within the US system to the president's personal whim. "Obama murders Afghans"

        Feel free to ignore the analysis of Russian journalists who actually know what they're talking about, and parrot cheap talking points.

        Try reading the article I linked to. Very carefully. Then you can join back up with the "Demonize The Evil Foreign Leader" hordes.

        Yes, because US media mindlessly demonizing foreign leaders and stigmatizing dissenting viewpoints has never had any adverse consequences.

        So @mtracey who claims assault by Maxine Waters thinks it wasn't so bad that Putin assasinated a dissident with polonium tea. Wow.

        Based off the article generally fair, while more nuanced than one would guess at first but your tweets portray it more dismissive than it is

        The article casts the "Putin murders journalists" line as uttered by O'Reilly as over-simplistic.

        What-aboutism aside, Putin was Litvinenko's former employer. So, you agree he probably had a hand in that murder, right?

        Why do you think Obama repeatedly praised and collaborated with Putin, notwithstanding this 2006 event? TREASON!

        Source for US data? Also, are we comparing apples and oranges (e.g. deaths by guard or inmate violence vs. deaths by old age [common in US])
