As a veteran civil war news producer who has experienced the horror of dead journalists and colleagues, I understand this shock.

The shooting death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh during an Israeli military raid in the West Bank city of Jenin highlights the dangers news reporters and producers deal with while covering worldwide conflicts.

A frontline chronicle of journalists covering conflicts recounts the harrowing exploits of the men and women armed with cameras who experience dangers in battle.

Do Dark #MAGA and Darker #MOSCOW movements pose the same clear and present dangers to global Democracy in the free world? 

Some #Republican and #Russian insiders share a common fear that #Putin and #Trump could be near to turning towards an increased path of destruction. 

They believe that when faced with failure in their campaign of terror and hate they will continue their destruction if they can’t have it all. Should both of them be stopped now before their evil actions continue to threaten the free world? Does Democracy destroy Autocracy and stops the GOP and the KGB?

Putin and Trump are both infamous pathological liars and not real geniuses as they would want their followers to continue believing.

Their American and Russian admirers will accept everything they are told but will never accept freedom and human rights regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more.

Sometimes there is a subtle difference between reporting news and spewing views or between occurrences or propaganda.

Is this military operation Z, or control alt delete Z? That is the real question. Kiev says the Ukrainians hit Moskva with a missiles and sunk it. The first first version below is Communist China-controlled media spewing propaganda for Communist Russia-controlled media.

The Chinese-owned social media giant joins Putin’s propaganda by muzzling users and cutting them off and allowing lies to spread.

Ticks are more than a nuisance. Ticks are external parasites, living by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. Can we talk?

The US Agency for Global Media USAGM condemns the Kremlin's censorship of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and everywhere.

Back in the day, when I worked there as a foreign policy media chief, the branding was different. It was then called The United States Information Agency then it became the Broadcasting Board of Governors but the mission has not changed and some say the need is greater than ever.

According to the International Rescue Committee, more than 82 million people across the world have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and other disasters.

#IRC staff goes where they are needed, regardless of public attention. They’ll never stop fighting for the rights of people caught in crisis—and they hope you won’t either.

DICTATOR

#MadVlad declared war on #Ukraine and on the truth after his brutal invasion and the multi-pronged effort to gaslight the globe.

A dictator produces self-inflicted wounds of a kind endured throughout history.. . These men who operate by intimidation deprive themselves of honest advice and information from subordinates. I experienced it in Cuba, I have reported on it in Nicaragua, and have seen it in Venezuela, America, Russia, China…etc.

Alexey Navalny reportedly posted a #Twitter thread addressing the #Russian people.

Even it sounds counterintuitive or paradoxical, I think we need to stand also united behind the Russian people because they – hopefully – stand up in Russia and fight for their freedom, peace, and democracy! 

1/12 We - Russia - want to be a nation of peace. Alas, few people would call us that now
