      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"

          Journalists are killed left and right in Mexico and its more dangerous to be a journo there than Russia. Does their President kill them?

          It's also less accurate. Reporters who criticize/expose Putin wind up dead b/c he orders the FSB to kill them.

          also less accurate. The passive voice characterizes Putin as a powerless figurehead, and the murder of journalists as merely incidental.

          Spot-on. The Russian state is very factional among higher-ups, especially "siloviki." Putin is only a part of the vast political machinery.

          By the way Communist China is a dictatorship that U.S. government has made major trade deals without getting any concessions on North Korea.
