It is common for scathing criticism to hit the form of an agency's performance or attitude taken as a decision made by the government. So that sometimes it endangers the life of a writer who writes about various things that offend government work patterns.
It's not strange if the shape is so hard and sharp, that it reads so cuttingly to the people it's intended for. But it's not just a form of writing that is harsh, the form of criticism is made, sometimes there is also a form that is subtle and sounds beautiful when read like a poem or song lyrics are made.
It plays with certainty without a doubt and hits exactly what it's aiming for. We often read it, hear it and also enjoy it. And without being asked, we will immediately understand the purpose of the writing.
That's the sharpness of the journalistic pen knife. Not seeking mere sensation or fame, but actually defending the rights and dignity of human beings who are affected by crimes committed by people who only care about themselves without thinking about the consequences for many people.
