We learned more about the terrible fate of Fox News’ news crew, which was under attack by Russian forces while they were covering the Kyiv elections on Monday. One person was hospitalized, and two others died, including Pierre Zakrzewski, the cameraman, and Oleksandra Kuvshynova, the local reporter and producer. This was a sign that liberal media’s classless, pigheaded ghouls wanted to get out of their digs and use the deaths to get political points.
To prove their lowness, the first person to run was New YorkerSusan Glasser, staff writer and CNN Global Affairs Analyst is Susan Glasser. “What a tragedy. A cameraman died covering the war for a TV network that airs a pro-Putin propagandist as its top-rated primetime host,”Her pride was evident a tweet.
We are so grateful to Pierre, and all other journalists from Ukraine and abroad, for their bravery in exposing the terrible truths of war. Makes the years of lies and propaganda so much harder to take—there are truly deadly consequences.

A few minutes later, she slithered back to remark that Zakrzewski’s dedication to journalism “[m]akes the years of lies and propaganda so much harder to take—there are truly deadly consequences.”
Seeing Glasser’s ghoulishness, Washington PostMargaret Sullivan was a columnist and decided to take up the cause.

Next came Puck News founding partner, Washington correspondent, and left-wing conspiracy theorist Julia Ioffe, who wanted to remind people of Kuvshynova’s death. She accused Fox NewsYou can ignore her.
It was Benjamin Hall’s Fox News local fixer, but she was her Fox News reporter Benjamin Hall. @FoxNewsIsn’t even mentioning her.

In fact, Fox News’ senior field producer Yonat Fliling sent this moving tribute.
We lost Oleksandra Kushninova, a courageous woman who was killed in yesterday’s terrorist attack close to Kyiv. She was passionate about music, and her humor and kindness were unmatched. At 24 she had just turned 25. Our team had her working for one month. She did an outstanding job.

But now that we’ve gotten those unpleasant folks out of the way, let’s look at those who knew when to come together.
CNN published a report on the sad story, and unlike Glasser’s, Oliver Darcy (media reporter) did not take aim at Glasser. “Fox News had just recognized Zakrzewski in December as one of the network’s ‘unsung heroes.’ He was described at the time as a journalist who ‘risks his life in war zones to get the story for Fox News,’” they wrote.
Glasser was also put to shame by Clarissa Ward, CNN’s international chief correspondent. She touchedly recalls working with Zakrzewski as well as calling him a friend.
There are no words. Pierre was a great friend and colleague. Pierre is a remarkable person with a tremendous talent. He was also one of my most kind and gracious coworkers. It was truly heartbreaking. https://t.co/KmScUCcAwd

Marcus Yam (Los Angeles Times, foreign correspondent) also had memories about Zakrzewski.
Here’s how I remember Pierre Zakrzewski.
Big smiles. A wonderful human being. Kind, generous & radiates an upbeat can-do energy. His desire to serve others was never-ending, whether in Kabul or Kyiv.
Together with Oleksandra Kuvshynova, a Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova was discovered dead. Please remember him.
Miss you. pic.twitter.com/jaKg39zmtc

And we’ll leave you with some Fox News journalists remembering their colleague and friend.
A happier memory of Pierre Zakrzewski – he had us try the largest crab I’ve ever seen when we were in Singapore. It was an adventure that he couldn’t resist. He was creative, generous and open to new adventures. Be at peace, my friend. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/6JIf3yA1YA
