That is pretty silly. In which way do you think they are dangerous for journalists in the same way that countries where dictatorships are? I want you to think out side of this talking point narrative. Is there any value in the list. Is it self reported? How comparable are they. Mexico has journalists murdered every week, How often are Journalists murdered every week? Obama DID used to jail reporters, Trump calls them names and says that they are fake news when they are being fake. But how is it dangerous for them. Do they FEEL threatened or have they BEEN harmed. Are they really in danger? There were fake bombs sent to some but then they were fake. There was a real fear there but just no actual threat.
Have you thought of ANY of this have you made any comparisons before making the bold claim "we're no better than those countries with dictatorships"
I am betting, no. No research, no critical thought at all. Hell, I have not invested any time in verifying anything and on its face I would suspect that USA is FAR better than countries with dictators and that the journalists are self-reporting their angst and are doing fine.
