    I know, this isn’t a fun question, but it’s honest curiosity…

    Do you think a contributing factor in the number difference is the amount of modern “journalist”? Like bloggers being considered journalists?

    But in the end, it’s all fucked up and every death is a tragedy, no matter the profession or side.

      I googled the names of a few of these guys and they got pictures with the blue “bulletproof” press outfit on and are real journalists.

      Sadly these people don’t seem to be random bloggers.
