A year ago, the brother of @MiamiHerald columnist @Carl_Hiaasen was murdered in an Annapolis newsroom, along with four colleagues.

Carl doesn’t find the humor in the president’s joke about getting “rid” of journalists. Nor should anyone.

And here's the column that Carl references, written by his sister-in-law

“Get rid of them. Fake news is a great term, isn’t it? You don’t have this problem in Russia but we do,” Trump said. To which Putin responded: “We also have. It’s the same.”
Twenty-six journalists have been murdered in Russia since Putin became president.
