12. How many journalists have already been killed?
How many by our military alone?
And can you really call those individuals who embed themselves with the troops on one side or the other of a conflict journalists? Aren't they rather propagandists or if you want to be really kind publicists?
What is the difference between a propagandist like Judy Miller and a journalist like Assange?
Judy Miller was really in the employ of certain of members of our government, a certain ideology. Assange just publishes materials that he gets editorializing and editing them only to save human lives.
I'd call Assange the journalist and Judy Miller the propagandist? Would you agree?
