wait is that supposed to be an irish accent? sounds scouse to me. like jamie bell in movie stars dont die in liverpool so im convinced its that because thats the standard i guess

[fernandocolunga]

idk how good it is but it reminded me of jamie bells attempts which was a vague mix between scottish and scouse

In a world were journalism is under attack ... These are their white stories

[fernandocolunga]

uhmmm normally id agree with this but this woman was incredibly brave and did some amazing work. i think esp in the time we live right now given what the media is like this is a pretty important story to tell esp about a bad ass woman. also its based on an actual person so... it makes sense shes played by a white actress this isnt marvel with their race bending.

I know, I'm being grumpy as fuck.

Marie Colvin really was under attack, though, and in fact, was likely killed by the Syrian government for her reporting.

War reporting is incredibly important. It's one of the big reasons we got a stop to the Vietnam war, when reporters brought back truly horrifying photos that changed public opinion.

In fact, the Pentagon blames reporters for ending the war in Vietnam, and from then on, the US government devoted significant resources to "managing" reporters in their wars (including a fleet of bulldozers to pretty up battle zones after the fact), culminating in the extremely favorable coverage of the first gulf war.

War correspondents are heroes. Colvin was a hero among heroes. She and other reporters who brave war zones are risking their lives just for the chance that humanity can make an informed decision about what kind of violence their governments can perpetrate. She deserves to be celebrated and have her story told.
