The Philippines' controversial president-elect has picked a new fight.
Speaking at a press conference to unveil his new cabinet Tuesday, Rodrigo Duterte said journalists killed on the job in the Philippines were often corrupt.
"Just because you're a journalist you are not exempted from assassination, if you're a son of a bitch," Duterte said. "Freedom of expression cannot help you if you have done something wrong," he added.
His comments were a response to a question about how to protect press freedom after a crime reporter was shot dead in Manila on Friday.
The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) was quick to blast the leader for his "appalling" comments.

Sacrifice them all, take their weed, seduce their grieving girlfriends, and sell the movie rights for profit.
Doesn't get any more 'Merican than that.

Understanding that we all want save lives, be able to sleep at night knowing we did everything
in our power to achieve a 'good as can be ' out-come. Here I think the plausible options are not, not even 50/50.
For me the way the question is phrased, the option is as steered, one life to save all others(?)
So. . . . ?
Is this where you stand and witness?, then suffer the rest of your nights wondering if action over inaction would have made a difference?
If you choose to act in the manners that are supplied you, then actions that you took, and the resulting death is due to your actions.
Doing nothing, your Inaction, leaves it open to debate what might have been had X, y or z occurred.
This is the roll of the dice - The randomness of death & life in the mountains.
A harsh truth.
