So you're conflating two things here
If people are actively engaged in protest (e.g. carrying signs), I agree they are not "journalists."
However, having viewers or not is irrelevant.
Also, let's not pretend even credentialed journalists weren't assaulted and arrested by police.
- NDizzle 6y agozug_zug, these are the kind of journalists that are getting arrested "in record numbers(1)": https://twitter.com/zerosum24/status/1321971751648137216 https://twitter.com/zerosum24/status/1321971751648137216 If we really want to talk about journalists (and their sources) arrested and prosecuted, the discussion is probably about President Obama and his administration. Not so much 2020. (1) since 2017 - funny that their data cuts off right there, isn't it?!

- FruityCoconut 6y agoIf they're anything like the "journalists" we might see on Twitter, I have a hard time believing they're dignified people covering these events in a professional manner. I see a lot of hyperemotionality, hero-of-the-people complexes, and instigation of conflict and controversy among these types. I'm sure it is a significant boost to their cred to be arrested, especially under the current administration.
