And did you have an opinion, OP? Or are you just reporting? Alsoat "Government" w/o mention of Myanmar in the le.
Reporters are arrested for reporting things that the leaders of the country don't like.
The government is not messing around with these leakers of official secrets.
A Myanmar judge ruled Wednesday that two Reuters reporters who do ented a massacre of Rohingya Muslims will face trial for violating the Official Secrets Act after they were arrested with papers handed to them by the police.
Judge Ye Lwin, who heard testimony from 17 prosecution witnesses over three months of preliminary hearings, ruled that there was enough evidence to proceed with the case against the reporters: U Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, and U Wa Lone, who turned 32 on Wednesday.
In a case that has provoked international condemnation, the two were arrested Dec. 12 while they were investigating the September massacre of 10 Rohingya civilians in the Rakhine State village of Inn Din. The massacre occurred during violent attacks on Rohingya Muslims by Myanmar’s military and local Buddhist mobs that drove hundreds of thousands of refugees into Bangladesh in what is broadly seen as calculated ethnic cleansing.
In uncovering the massacre, the two reporters obtained photos of the 10 victims kneeling before their execution with their hands tied behind their backs. They also found the mass grave where the victims were buried.
The judge’s decision in Yangon came barely 12 hours after the military announced that four army officers and three soldiers had been sentenced to 10 years at hard labor for their roles in the massacre.

Disingenuous click bait like his beloved wonkette journalism.And did you have an opinion, OP? Or are you just reporting? Also
This is what happens when governments decide that journalists have printed something they don't like, and call "fake news".And did you have an opinion, OP? Or are you just reporting? Also
Trump has called journalists "enemy of the people" and called for easing libel laws so he can sue journalists who write things about him he doesn't like.
Do you think journalists who say bad things about the president are enemies of the people?

About as disenguous as the thread le. I think bad people tend to follow bad journalism to perpetuate their fantasy world.
I love how you try to dumb this down to a third-grade level. You should teach school. Do I think that minions are serving the propaganda interests of plutocrats? Of course. I watched an interview the other day with the Apple CEO, who was condemning Facebook's selling of user info and saying how it violated his company's code of ethics. The "journalist" asked if there was a point that Apple would stop carrying the Facebook app if they persisted and what would he do in their situation. He made a joke that he would not be in that situation, and all the lemmings in the audience laughed. He then avoided the question and said government should bla bla bla. The "journalist" did not insist on an answer; he just proceeded with the preplanned runaround and served his corporate masters. I get that you want to put these "journalists" on a higher plane and pretend that they're victims because you're a lemming sympathetic to much of what they're peddling. You don't have to like Trump to get that fake news is the norm. It has been, brah.
It's fine to say bad things about Win Myint, it's when they say bad things about Aung San Suu Kyi that they get into trouble.
It is the job of journalists to honestly bring the goods on government and government leaders. It must be a contentious relationship. The problem is that we now have “journalists” on the internet who see a story and twist it claiming false flag. The Cosmos/haters of the world get delight in any fanciful tale without doing any investigation, or, they think they can take do ents from Wikileaks and make some sort of sense out of it without any formal training and with a penchant for the spectacular. The news organizations with people on the ground that take the time to properly confirm sources and corroborate events are extraordinarily important to a democracy. Even if it turns out to be boring, it’s still important.
All presidents have attacked the press at one time or another. It is the job of the people to find the sources that take the most precaution to ferret out the truth... To find the sources that are self critical of their own reporting and of others if they see a crappy job done or a mistake made.
So if a poster has what seems to be a reliable source, please share. If a news organization has never fd up, it’s not to be trusted. If a news organization never reports its own shortcomings in a story, it’s not self critical enough. A reporter of a story must always be able to state exactly what would have made the story even more airtight. One can find interviews with the best journalists looking back on their work and explaining clearly what would have made the piece more complete.
People who clearly avoid solidly made pieces that challenge their ideology can lie to themselves without guilt.
Fall off soapbox...

Not disingenuous at all. I simply want a truthful response to my question. You have chosen to avoid the truth again.
Jesus is watching. Will you continue to be dishonest?
