    Why would journalists need Diplomatic Immunity?

    Meanwhile, the Z gang is shooting at actual journalists

    Whataboutism.

      Exactly.

      Whataboutism.

      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.

        so why does “don’t go into an active war zone” work for one side but not the other

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