Stefania Maurizi, John Goetz and Christian Mihr discussed in Georg Büchner Buchladen (bookshop) in Berlin about: “What is the Purpose of Journalism if War Crimes Are Not Allowed to be Published?”.

I think this is a good question for discussion. What do you think?

    The purpose of modern journalism is to suck up to the billionaire class, and to keep the lower classes scared, poor and stupid, so they don’t find out where the REAL source of their pain comes from.

    I think the question is deliberately naive and baiting.

    The accusation of “war crimes” requires an actual, full investigation (and trial) to be completely valid and/or meaningful.

    Instead, it’s thrown out any time an act of war appears to be particularly unfair or evil, often without full context or detail.
