Same shit, or not? Wait, how many eastern journalist were killed for investigating oligarchs? Probably some.
And how about russia?

Gary Webb Panama Papers Chelsea Manning Julian Assange Edward Snowden Craig Spence
The real answer is that we'll never know because they "kill themselves" or have "accidents" and it doesn't go on CIApedia as a journalist murder. Just like the Boeing whistleblowers and the original leaders of Black Lives Matter.
You'll get them booted off the internet and their entire family sent to reeducation camps!!!
Post-Soviet Russia has absolutely had an organized crime problem. The violence journalists face there strikes me as more reason to celebrate their work rather than censor it.
