I don’t know if you’re genuinely confused or just willfully leaping to assumptions. I’m going to assume you just genuinely misunderstand what I’m saying.
My original point was to argue the idea that journalist aren’t some innocent class of truth seekers getting a bad wrap, but that there is an observable strong and growing anger/distrust at journalistic institutions and so we should consider those perspectives and treat them seriously.
I’m not saying to round up the journalists, I’m not saying the police are justified, I’m not even saying hating journalistic institutions is justified. My direct and explicit point was to mention the counter argument against the idea that journalists are innocent and getting unjustified blame/anger directed at them.
I implore you to reread this comment chain with an open mind instead of what you currently seem to be doing, which is falsely trying to predict which ideological game I’m playing.
