I'm disappointed that this was a partisan piece. The behavior described is bi-partisan. The news agencies described as "gutted" behaved in abusive manners against ordinary people of the opposite political perspective.

When one partisan side blames the other side for something. It's reasonable to expect the blame is cover for the same actions in reverse. Some sort of projection. I'm about to break out my nano violin for the unemployed hatchet "journalists". Anyone who wants to claim the moral high ground should at least take a broader analysis of the rules. And apply the same rules to everyone.

As far as I'm concerned, it's time for these slander propagandists to pay the piper. They should live with the the same consequences they preached a few years ago. When they had more power.

But we live with rules, so they are free to form their own independent channels.
