5:48Now PlayingA Syrian journalist and documentarian was recently killed in Turkey. The Turkish government doesn’t seem too concerned with justice for dead journalists. Journalist fatalities are now at a ten year high. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
