      Michael Tracey Retweeted Steve Vladeck

      I love how these people feel entitled to proclaim that Assange “isn’t a journalist” even though he has carried out innumerable acts that could only be described as journalistic in nature, such as publishing documents in the public interesthttps://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1133334030831759360 …

      Michael Tracey added,

      Steve VladeckVerified account @steve_vladeck
      The point isn’t that Assange is a journalist (he isn’t), or that his conduct is defensible (it isn’t). The point is that at least part of the theory DOJ is endorsing to prosecute him under the Espionage Act would also apply to—and could thereby chill—responsible journalists. https://twitter.com/HowardKurtz/status/1133326806004699138 …

      Luckily, journalism is not a priesthood and people like @steve_vladeck can’t just sit on their high horse and declare anyone excluded from it. The Constitution guarantees First Amendment protections to all, regardless of whether you’re in good standing with academic/media elites

          Which is exactly why it doesn’t matter legally whether Assange is a journalist or not—which was my main point, and which is why his case is so important whatever one thinks about him, specifically. But you do you.

          You say it "doesn't matter" whether Assange is a journalist yet smugly declare him not to be one, which is "important" for different reasons. Thanks, I will happily "do me."

          Another question is when did US laws apply to all of the people in the world? Assange is not a US citizen and was not in the US when the alleged crimes took place, so WTF?

          Cue my sarcasm. It’s understandable, not being members of the Commonwealth. We take court documents rather seriously. I gather that may not be the case over there? The insouciance to opinion over fact is laughable.pic.twitter.com/iNywEAaZWq

          Even the ACLU got on board and will probably help defend Assange. Which is shocking, because the ACLU got largely corrupted by money from Hillary bot types and other lefty extremists. That the ACLU did not condemn Assange like other Hillary bots is kinda stunning.

          "Journalism isn't a priesthood" Are you sure about that Michael? Are you really sure? Doesn't it ever feel like they're working for some kind of.... Cathedral?

          Is journalism a profession? Are there standards to be a professional? Are there credentials or licensing? If not, none of you are as professional as nail salon operators.
