It seems most western reporters are leaving

1. I'm surprised they stayed this long.

2. Is this a good thing?

How does it help not to have news about Russia that doesn't come from the state propaganda networks?

3. Western reporters believe they will be arrested under Russia's

new law if they report accurately.

6. I see. nt

4. Being killed or jailed is not a good thing.

I agree that we should get reliable news, but the journalists are not safe.

7. Oh, right

I was thinking of it only in terms of a boycott.

5. It's a Putin thing.

The new law makes living in Russia dangerous for anyone who tells the truth.
