Pierre Zakrzewski And Oleksandra Kivskynova Passed Away!

Pierre Zakrzewski and Oleksandra Kivskynova killed by Russian forces.

Covering war has a price. The American junk food media is covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The European Union and United States have impose some of the harshest sanctions against the Russian Federation. They are stopping short of calling the latest incidents war crimes. With the tensions high, the American president Joe Biden is carefully weaving through a quagmire of arm chair generals, his actual generals, his intelligence agencies and the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Biden doesn't want American troops fighting in Ukraine. He fears it could lead to World War III.

The president also has to deal with the news of another journalist covering for American news.

Fox announced the death of Pierre Zakrzewski, the longtime war photojournalist for the network. Also killed was Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova. They were along with Benjamin Hill, Fox's State Department correspondent. Their vehicle was hit by the Russian forces and it is classified as a war crime.

The 55-year old is a skilled photographer, reporter, engineer and producer. He covered news from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and other countries with unrest. He was beloved among his wife Michelle and his children.

There is no word on Hill's injuries. He was severely injured along with Zakrzewski.

Suzanne Scott, the far-right cable outlet's embattled president released a memo stating that his death happened when they were under fire.

"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we share the news this morning regarding our beloved cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski," Scott said.

"Pierre was a war zone photographer who covered nearly every international story for Fox News from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria during his long tenure with us. His passion and talent as a journalist were unmatched. Based in London, Pierre had been working Ukraine since February," said Scott.

"His talents were vast and there wasn't a role that he didn't jump in to help in the field --- from photographer to engineer to editor to producer -- and he did it all under immense pressure with tremendous skill. He was profoundly committed to telling the story and his bravery, professionalism and work ethic were renowned among journalists at every media outlet," Scott said. "He was wildly popular -- everyone in the media industry who has covered a foreign story knew and respected Pierre."

Covering war is a dangerous job for journalists. 

"Pierre was a constant in all of our international coverage. I, like countless others, always felt an extra sense of reassurances when arriving on the scene and seeing him with camera in hand," said the far-right outlet's executive president and editor Jay Wallace. "The legacy of his positive spirit, boundless energy and eye for the story will carry on."

"We extend our deepest condolences to Pierre's wife Michelle and family. Please keep them all in your prayers. And please continue to pray for Benjamin Hill," said Scott.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said that "The Truth Is The Target."

Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Congress and the Fox folks were notified of this tragedy.

Kushynova's death was announced by Anton Gerashchenko, the advisor to Ukrainian interior minister.

She was 24 years old and she was the person who helped translate for Fox. 

Fox who cheers for Vladimir Putin is now realizing that they're targets too. The American far-right agitators like Sucker Tucker and Softball Hannity would rather fight the battle in front of cameras inside their luxury mansions. They would rather send underlings and professionals to do their dirty work.

Rupert Murdoch's empire is a disgrace. News Corp has been primarily a thorn in the paws of democracy. The far-right outlets are cheering for Biden to fail. They are promoting Washed Up 45's nonsense and rooting for authoritarianism in the United States.

Culture wars are the beginning of a nation that could face it's own demise. 

CNN and many other Western media companies are suspending operations in Russia. 

American journalist and filmmaker Brent Renaud was the first U.S. journalist killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
