Guilty as charged, remember to actually read the article before you comment people.

There is a link. It's more dangerous to be a journalist in part because people have lost respect for journalists, something that they and their industry bear some responsibility for.

The first one makes sense and impacts everyone, and I think the headline uses that to attract readers. Whereas the second is an externality and abstraction that not too many would care about. Another fine trait of journalism.

>Funny seeing the amount of people who just read the headline and think this is about people believing journalism is itself dangerous to others. That is interesting though. Journalism is in major crisis. The sinister fact about journalism censorship is that it is largely voluntary.... Things are kept right out of the mass media, not because the Government intervened but because of a general tacit agreement that 'it wouldn't do' to mention that particular fact.... At this moment what is demanded by the prevailing orthodoxy is an uncritical hatred of Russia and Trump. Everyone knows this, nearly everyone acts on it. Any serious criticism of the Trump/Russia, any disclosure of facts which Trump/Russia would prefer to keep hidden, is front page. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. Common folks still vaguely subscribe to that doctrine and act on it. It is the left wing who fear liberty and the elites who want to do dirt on the intellect. - Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media. Noam Chomsky
