Sources are not to be protected if they are committing criminal offences.
Let's not be fooled here. Mediapart claims they are targeted for political reason but they are conducting a political campaign themselves.
Edwy Plenel (Mediapart's boss) started his career at the French's Revolutionary Communist League's weekly newspaper...
But I agree that it was rather foolish to demand to search their office without a warrant.
- Juliate 8y agoIf you classify "valid" journalists by their political journey or ideals, you won't have many people left. Notwithstanding the likely possibility that even a highly partisan journalist can be professional and can know when to put their opinions aside. An illegal source is still a source - and the fact that something has been illegally captured doesn't change the veracity it exposes - although it taints the receivability of it as a proof, legally speaking - that's a different matter.
