I know I’m in the minority, but I think the media has gotten out of control. Journalist at major news outlets are able to say just about anything they want, about anyone, for any reason, and there’s really nothing you can do about it. Even if it has Little to no news value. Journalist have been acting with such impunity for years, and it’s just not right.
Yes, governments must exercise power over media, and force said media to destroy the materials they obtained. The media must learn who is boss here: the government.
