This is terrible, but the headline is exaggerating: this only affects 50 people relating to a specific issue, not all journalists in the US.

- nerdponx 8y agoNo it's not. The headline never says "all", you added that. The fact that the number is greater than 0 is a problem.
- Areading314 8y agoI disagree, CBP targeting people who frequently cross the border for extra scrutiny, some of whom happen to be journalists, is a far cry from "the US" tracking "journalists" in general. It is an alarmist headline
- gizmo385 8y agoSure it only affects 50 people /now/, but this kind of a thing is really slippery slope. What's to stop the application of this process to other issues that the government would rather journalists not be looking into?
