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?

Then the question can be "are journalists allowed to report on accusations of war crimes"?

The answer is the same: it depends who is being accused. Are they the US empire or vassal state? Expect to be publicly vilified at best. Are they a non-aligned state? Expect cheers and a bunch of primetime cable news interviews.
