1) He isn't "the press". "The press" is a vastly broad and varied group of reporters, investigators, recherchers, presenters etc. ad infinum. Not to have sympathy for any individual human because they are in the press is a crazy stance to take!
2) It is
because he put him self in harms way, despite knowing the risk, that we should have sympathy for him. He did not need to go to a conflict zone to earn a living and we must be thankful that people like him have the steel to report in places like this or we would be much less informed about these areas.
