@BolexForSoup just to be clear are you saying that journalists with a political or ideological slant should not be afforded the same protections as other journalists?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, I believe it's pretty clear they're saying journalists who claim total transparency should have total transparency, not obscure some things because they want to. If you claim to want to protect children and then do a bunch of things to hurt children, you lose your standing as a protector of children. The same here. If you claim total transparency and then hide certain things you lose the claim of total transparency.

Sure. I agree. I just don't see the relevance to whether or not you should be extradited to a foreign country that uses inhumane conditions.

Oh yeah, totally agree with that. I don't know if anyone should be extradited to the US regardless of what they did.
