This is a bit of a tangent, but I assumed journalism was dead as soon as “two party consent” started (not sexual, it’s recording evidence of a crime). Even WITH context, you can’t record people committing crimes without their consent. This completely negates the abilities of whistle blowers. Also, thank GOD NPR is publicly funded. Cutting 1% is a hilariously impotent attempt at cutting funding.
Good points, however the regime is now threatening journalists with treason charges for publishing constitutionally protected speech. So I think it’s a bit of an escalation.

lol, no. Whistleblowers are still able to write stuff down and testify. Recordings can still be thrown out of record but prosecutor doesn’t think you’re crazy anymore and might appeal for an exception.

I agree. “A bit”, is an understatement
