Journalists-US Becoming Less Tolerant
Posted on at
Today as we mourn and become infuriated by killing of Marie Colvin in the despotic land of Assad’s Syria, one of my colleagues forwarded a tweet with link to SaveTheNews.org. Link and short reflection on journalists is included below. However, things cannot be good if US is listed at #47 on the “global press freedom index.” Worse, the US has just dropped from #27, with more than 50 journalists arrested just covering the Occupy Wall Street Movement. (Read Regarding Marie Colvin’s record of valor and integrity - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/blog_post/death-of-journalist-who-was-more/46329). We are also reminded that: “The First Amendment is not just for journalists — we all depend on the fundamental right to free speech. Please sign this letter to take a stand with these arrested journalists. “ Please Link at - act2.freepress.net/sign/support_journalists/ By Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey – Follow @MuhamedSacirbey Facebook = Become a Fan at “Diplomatically Incorrect” Twitter – Follow us at DiplomaticallyX WarCrimesJusticeChannel - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/c/war-crimes-justice Photo Courtesy of JavierSoriano.com – (Great Photography) - javiersoriano.com/blog/ Photo Bottom of Marie Colvin covering Tahir Square ("Occupy Cairo")
