This year, an organization called "Reporters Without Borders," which, as best as I can tell is dedicated to being the pivot man in this particular circle jerk, has published a report which identifies the most dangerous nations for reporters to work.
The world's five deadliest countries for journalists include three - India, Mexico and, for the first time, the United States - where journalists were killed in cold blood, even though those countries weren't at war or in conflict, the group said.
"The hatred of journalists that is voiced by unscrupulous politicians, religious leaders and businessmen has tragic consequences on the ground, and has been reflected in this disturbing increase in violations against journalists," Secretary-General Christophe Deloire said in a statement.
The United States joined the ranks of the world's deadliest countries for the media this year, with a total of six journalists killed.
We gather detailed information that allows us to affirm with certainty or a great deal of confidence that the death, detention, abduction, or disappearance of each journalist was a direct result of their journalistic work.
Reporters Without Borders' methodology ranking U.S. among most dangerous places for journalists is worthy of some good, old-fashion journalism skepticism.
A falling tree does not reflect "Hatred of journalists," unless Reporters Without Borders wants to argue that the tree aimed for those two unfortunate souls.
