    They have murdered far more journalists in and around Gaza and in Lebanon and assassinated who knows how many others overseas.

    It’s disgusting to go after journalists who do nothing but uncover the truth.

    Stories like these might frighten journalist, leading us into a dystopian world of wars and lies.

      I wouldn’t mind doing this type of journalism if I was even remotely skilled at writing but the fact is they don’t get paid nearly enough. This women was probably passionately pursuing her own journalistic ambitions with no payout other than the work itself. Then she was murdered for it.

    Authorities in Marseille have launched an investigation to determine the cause of Vlahovic’s death.

    They’ll get to it just after they figure out who blew up NordStream 2

      Well that could mean anything between “she died of not immediately obvious medical reason, so cause of death inguiry is needed” to “she was murdered, we are investigating”. Heck to investigate “there is no external markers, but we don’t know is it medical stroke or a poisoning murder”.

      So I would say, wait until they investigated and tell, if they suspect foul play before jumping to conclusions. Not that Israel isn’t capable and on choosing so willing, but sometimes people just suddenly die of medical causes without prior warning.

      The very important difference is that (apparently) murdering journalists is bad, but destroying disgusting pipelines controlled by fascist capitalists is actually good.
