Journalists in Myanmar 'live in fear'.

"I can't talk now, I think I'm in danger," a reporter in Myanmar whispered into the phone. Click.Phones are tapped and the few foreign journalists inside Myanmar are operating in secret, making it dangerous and difficult to tell the story of the cyclone that has devastated the Southeast Asian country.

What the f**k is going on, all i see in the news is just fgucking countries being torn apart by the nature.Covering catastrophes always carries risk in impoverished countries where disasters can cause shortages of food, clean water, outbreaks of disease and staggering death tolls. But the challenges are multiplied in Myanmar, where the reclusive and notoriously brutal military regime does not want details of the suffering to leak out.
