Can I ask you something? Why are you all so hell-bent on maintaining your presence on a site overtly hostile to both you and your profession?

It's a matter ofPrincipal, they are fighting to Protect Freedom of the Press, Free Speech, and ultimately Democracy!
If journalist don't fight people that try to silence journalist because they hurt their feels or to control speech Democracy would have been lost ages ago.
And that works right up until the power you’re fighting against not only has a vested interest to see you fail, but he single-handedly owns the battle field and controls the terms of engagement.
Publicly groveling for the purpose of “access journalism” is beneath journalists and those institutions that lend them credibility.
Instead of speaking truth to power like they think they are, journalists are actually conceding their power and influence in order to stay alive on HIS battlefield.
