This is what happens when states are allowed to kill journalists with impunity. They carry on doing so.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (@pressfreedom.bsky.social) displays integrity and courage with this statement today condemning Israel's attack on Iranian state TV — and connecting it to Israel's sense of impunity after it killed 200 journalists in Gaza, with little international outrage.
