I'm pleasantly surprised that journalists are doing this due to how tepid news companies generally are.

  They couldn’t do anything else. The power grab happens even when they would have succumbed. At least they quit with a spine. If they don’t go back in a week, which can be seen from several examples, like Hungary, that it doesn’t work. I think compared to the Hungarian government, this was a misstep of Trump (which I hope they make it more). In Hungary, when something like this happened, you always lost when you didn’t succumb to authoritarianism. You lost your previous privileges no matter what, but you lost more if you protested. They tried to keep up a facade that nothing changed, while everything changed. In this case it seems to me as an outside observer, that nothing value was lost by quitting compared to signing up. Or Trump and co don’t want to keep a facade at all. But then they need to bet on that most people in America are really fascists.
