I think this is a “We the People” issue. More so than even when one of “our” police are “resisted”, journalists occupy a special place in the “People’s Pecking Order”. Who keeps the police, bureaucrats, and politicians under scrutiny?

I suggest that this is a matter for everyone to be concerned about.
