The implications of the story, that even journalists are willing to go along with censorship, the willingness of the American government to defer to Russian propaganda, the long-term excoriation of the reporter all suggest that the problems we see today are NOT new problems, but old ones. We should treat the government's desire to restrict information while accumulating authority at the expense of our civil rights as the treason it rightly is.

Shamefully familiar . . . good read!But the idea that a rush of journalists would defend the government—instead of the reporter who refused to play by its rules—remains uncannily familiar.
