very much reflective of the lack of any real survival instinct among journalists that they think the big story today is whether biden will step down

I mean there's no reason the two things couldn't be related, like if Biden wanted one of his last official acts to be showing the court why this ruling is bad in a way they'd actually understand.

VOA report from Jan, 2021 “Footage showed crowds smashing equipment belonging to an Associated Press crew, charging and yelling at reporters, and dragging a photographer backward over a ledge. On a door inside the U.S. Capitol someone scrawled "’Murder the Media.’”

Lack of survival instinct indeed. Journalists refuse to acknowledge that Trump is an existential threat to them. Naively, foolishly, they’re hoping to make their peace with another Trump administration — which will eviscerate them.

Honestly I won't feel particularly sad when the white house press corps is first against Trump's wall. They are working for fascism. I just hope there is somewhere safe I can escape to, but will anywhere in the world be safe when America ends?

Pressuring the AG to start an Espionage Act investigation against a journalist sure sounds like an official act under the Supreme Court's test. And if it was motivated by the President's desire to retaliate against that journalist for a prior critical article? That would be irrelevant.

I had hoped he was gonna come out and say something he had thought of to do today to combat this SCOTUS. But at least he came out and showed he’s pissed. And when whoever it was yelled that, I SO wanted him to turn around and say “BECAUSE I ALREADY AM PRESIDENT!” I mean, who was that brat? 😡
