    Disdain for freedom of the press and saying the government should be able to use reporter resources to track down whistle blowers because you don’t like who it happened to is extremely myopic.

      I said nothing of the sort.

      I said fuck the Washington Post and fuck anyone who writes for them, but most of all fuck their crocodile tears.

      They are explicitly a mouthpiece for the billionaire class and vocally anti-working class, which means they support the same system that they are now receiving some blowback from.

      This is a leopard’s ate my face situation, and one doesn’t have to hate freedom of the press, or whatever else you’re accusing me of, to recognize and acknowledge that.

        So it’s ok to cheer on the erosion of rights as long as some of the the victims “deserve” it or the victim is ideologically impure? Does that sound like anybody else from the current political climate? Not actually questions I want answers from you on but ones you should think about.
