After Daria Dughina, this is another high profile assasination of pro-war propagandists.
Right, it is propagandist for West. Wondering what Western media going call in assassinations in public place. If this is done by Russian, we can be sure it is already up and armed in all Western Media as terorism and human rights violations. Or do we call also Western Propagandist media??After Daria Dughina, this is another high profile assasination of pro-war propagandists.
I think in general "Western media" are careful with using words like "terrorist", as described in these guidelines from BBC, which I recommend you have a look at: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/editorialguidelines/pdfs/reporting-terrorism.pdfRight, it is propagandist for West.

The on going murders of journalists during the last 20 years were done by Russians (mostly Putin operatives). These recent murders, probably Ukrainian agents were responsible. Tatarsky was a mutt but it is unfortunate others were hurt.Apologies for submitting wiki but murders of journalists have been ongoing in Russia for over twenty years why is this one special?

Yet in same time if this is happening in Western soil with some anti Russian journalist or opposition, there's already condemnation on Western media and their pundits on directing the blame directly to Russia.

Well there's enough bloggers in the West that call themselves and regards by some as Journalists. or is it now the ones call Journalists only for those work for mainsteam media, especially mainstream media on 'approve' western standard.guy who was killed was not a journalist. He was a blogger. Some of the statements he made before he was killed:
If it makes you happy, please continue to call him a journalist. I, and a number of other people, strongly disagree. He was a blogger.Well there's enough bloggers in the West that call themselves and regards by some as Journalists. or is it now the ones call Journalists only for those work for mainsteam media, especially mainstream media on 'approve' western standard.
Where does this come from? Who has said "it is allright to be killed in public place"? and "injuring civilians"!? Please stop inventing things.In anyway is it make it allright to be killed in public place like that with explosive devices ? Injuring civilians ? Is this not act of assassination bordering cross to terrorism ?
Did you read the guidelines I linked to above?Something that 'deserve' condemnation in mainstream media including western ones ? Unless western media acknowledge they are working on different level of standard.
Yes off course, I understand on the double standard believe any way. Off course everyone free on what they're believing.and a number of other people, strongly disagree. He was a blogger.
Inventing this ? whose inventing ? You bring out the arguments on Blogger not Journalists. Remember I post that there's no condemnation in western media for Journalists killed. So again some will call him journalists and some will insist him as bloggers.Please stop inventing things.
There is a difference between a journalist who tries to report things Putin doesn't like, or a peaceful political opponent of Putin, & someone who says on the record such things as "We'll defeat everyone, we'll kill everyone, we'll rob everyone we need to. Everything will be as we like it". That's not journalism.Yet in same time if this is happening in Western soil with some anti Russian journalist or opposition, there's already condemnation on Western media and their pundits on directing the blame directly to Russia. There's none that even talk from media pundits shown condemnation toward journalist killings. Seems again whose side journalist are matter anyway.
Well maybe he's not a journalist on some 'mainstream' western media standard. However there's also those 'bloggers' in west in each side of extreme political spectrums, that some still call them Journalists.Everything will be as we like it". That's not journalism.
