Curious:
So, if for some reason, there are journalists that are creating content for groups/regimes that are anti-America (lets say ISIS, Assad, Ahmedinajad or Jong Un), would that journalist never been seen with any kind of suspicion in the US?
- tdb7893 8y agoThe thing is that you really need some specific reason to be suspicious and being a journalist or activist isn't inherently suspicious. It's not that you can't be suspicious of journalists, you just need an actual reason and there really isn't a clear one here. Edit: People are also particularly touchy about this because suppression of activists and journalists enables more authoritarian control and human rights abuses to the point where it's a trait of every recent authoritarian government I'm aware of.
