UPDATE: Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan deleted her tweet touting the tweet by Susan Glasser. It has been replaced with a tweet featuring a screengrab of it.
We learned more about the terrible fate of Fox News’ news crew, which was under attack by Russian forces while they were reporting from Kyiv. One person was taken to the hospital and two others were killed. This was a sign that liberal media’s classless, bogus ghouls wanted to use their deaths as a way to get political points.
They were the ones who ran first and showed how far they could fall. 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,”She gloated in a tweet.
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.”
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.

Seeing Glasser’s ghoulishness, Washington PostMargaret Sullivan from the column decided to take action with her now-delete tweet. There was no explanation.

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 NewsDo not 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.

This touching tribute was actually tweeted by Yonat Fliling, a Fox News senior producer.
Yesterday’s attack in Kyiv has resulted in the loss of a brave and beautiful woman, Oleksandra Kuvshinova (Sasha). She was passionate about music, and her humor and kindness were unmatched. She was only 24 years old. For the last month, she worked alongside our team and did an amazing job.
Let her memories be a blessing pic.twitter.com/QGzqV3Fy5D— Yonat Friling (Frühling) (@Foxyonat) March 15, 2022
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. A remarkable spirit, tremendous talent, and one of our most generous and kind colleagues. It was truly heartbreaking. https://t.co/KmScUCcAwd

Los Angeles TimesMarcus Yam, a foreign correspondent, also kept his memories.
So this is Pierre Zakrzewski’s way of remembering him.
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.
Along with Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kvshynova, the body was found. 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 a great idea and he loved it. He was charming, generous and open to new adventures. Be at peace, my friend. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/6JIf3yA1YA
