I always believed a huge part of the agenda here, and I am in zero doubt it is indeed an agenda, was to send a clear message to journalists a few rounds fired just above the heads as it were to never under any circumstances step away from the official narrative.

The real message of course that next time it may be a shelling or mortar attack, metaphorical or otherwise...

• Speaking truth and attempting to inform or educate the public - Dead.
• Attempting to protect sources in line with that pesky little issue, the law - Dead.
• Diobeying your corporate overlords and oligarch owners - Death!

Democracy, freedom and the so-called-power of the many has taken quite a severe battering over the last few years.

It is high time 'we the people' made our voices heard again... I mean really make ourselves heard!
