Be obnoxious asshole that does not contribute anything
“Hey I’m a journalist, you can’t touch me. Just like the bad guy from Lethal Weapon 2, I got diplomatic immunity!”
Meanwhile, the Z gang is shooting at actual journalists, but that’s ok because they are on your side. They shouldn’t have come to an active war zone. Oh sorry, special military operation zone.
Same conflict, so why does “don’t go into an active war zone” work for one side but not the other? Hypocrisy? Martial law sucks, so you get arrested for dumb shit. Nihil sub sole novum.
“It’s OK to imprison journalists if you give them a chance to flee the country first”
I still fail to see which “journalists” you are talking about.
“It’s OK to imprison journalists if you declare that they aren’t ‘real’ journalists when you do it.”

Why would journalists need Diplomatic Immunity?
Whataboutism.

Unlike you, I don’t support Russia prosecuting journalists.
