If you're an American journalist and you're working in a dangerous place... our joke of a leader and huge waste of time in the Oval Office ( Mr Hussein Obama ) has not got your back. This piece of shit in the white house will sit and watch you get your fucking head cut off and say and do nothing! You all should come home until our nation elects a new leader.

And you'd like the US government to do what? Could forbid our journalists working overseas I suppose. But as long as they eagerly volunteer to do so, this is what's going to happen from time to time.
It'd be like blaming the President every time someone dies in a car accident. You knew the risks, you assumed that risk for yourself getting in a car. Quit whining.
No one drafts journalists and forces them into dangerous parts of the world. If it didn't occur to you "American journalists" might not be well thought of in Arab countries you're an idiot who's too stupid to be a journalist in the first place [insert Fox News jokes here]
Journalists are not 'innocent bystanders.' They're on a side and someone's always gonna be opposite that side. If the two sides bump into each other, shit happens. But it's damn sure not a President's fault. If it's anyone fault, it's the journalist's for being there in the first place.

How about the government protecting American citizens from getting beheaded for simply being American?
Reagan would have wiped ISIS off the map by now. You're President is a pussy!!

Actually it's more likely, given his history, that he would have negotiated with them, even if it meant paying ransom. Like Germany and France and Austria and Switzerland do. You'll notice those citizens don't lose their heads.
Drawing "we do not negotiate with terrorists" lines in the sand has its own consequences. At the risk of sounding cliché, we can blame Booosh for that precedent.
Dagdug Lutzow hosted the De frente a Tabasco radio and television programme broadcast by radio XEVX and the TVX television station. He also directed the Grupo VX media company. His editorial stance was characterised by his criticism of the actions of state governor Arturo Nez Jimenez. According to Grupo VX news director Engel Antonio Jimenez, Dagdug Lutzow had received threats which were reported on his television programme in the days before his assassination. The journalist did not specify who might be behind the threats but said that he would continue with his critical stance. Angel Jimenez said that Dagdug Lutzow had received phone calls from people asking for personal details, such as his home address and where he was at the time of the call, among other information.
Faced with this situation, Dagdug Lutzow made improvements to his security system, including installing surveillance cameras at his home. According to witnesses, the assassins were inside Dagdug Lutzow's home when he entered it at approximately 7:00 a.m. on 20 February. After killing the journalist, the perpetrators escaped in Dagdug Lutzow's vehicle, making a loud noise as they destroyed the gate to his property.
Colleagues at radio XEVX said they heard the noise coming from the journalist's home, which is located across from the radio station. They saw that the journalist's house had been broken into and called the state police. Upon entering Dagdug Lutzow's home, they found that the journalist had been stabbed. The State Attorney General's Office has opened a preliminary investigation into the assassination. Dagdug Lutzow's murder is the second attack documented by ARTICLE 19 in Tabasco in 2016. On 10 February, two individuals attempted to assassinate Pedro Sala Garcia, a correspondent for the Tabasco Hoy daily newspaper. The assassination attempt took place at Sala Garcia's home in the Ganadera neighbourhood of the municipality of Emiliano Zapata.
According to ARTICLE 19 records, 92 journalists and commentators have been assassinated in Mexico since 2000. Nineteen of those murders have taken place during the administration of President Enrique Peia Nieto, three of them in 2016. The failure to carry out effective investigations into crimes against journalists creates an environment of vulnerability for those working in the profession, sending a message to perpetrators that there will be no consequences for their actions and thus permitting attacks on the press to continue.
Journalism a deadly profession in Mexico
The International Press Institute (IPI) has joined with leading free expression and press freedom defenders in calling on U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to take greater action to support efforts to improve journalists' safety.
Following up on a meeting with Kerry in 2015, the groups in a joint letter sent yesterday urged him to appoint a senior member of his staff to implement the State Department's journalist safety roadmap and liaise with the groups, and to send a message to posts worldwide to set out new protocols on dealing with imperilled journalists.
They also called on Kerry to ensure that journalists receive crucial security advice from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security's Overseas Security Advisory Council, to work to convince other countries to allow journalists to carry protective gear across borders and to more fully integrate the issue of impunity against journalists into the State Department's bilateral and multilateral agenda.
The full text of the letter appears below.
