Surprising to me that few know about them, I've heard plenty from them since at least '09. To clarify, I never said they were as popular, just that they're as bad.

The people running it started out as journalists, and started the organization in the journalistic watchdog spirit. They have foresaken their trade, however, in silencing crusades such as this. In other words, they forgot where they came from.

 

Fair enough. However, they left the "journalist" field quite a while ago so I give them all the freedom in the world to express speech.

Doesn't matter. As long as they consider themselves journalists then they should act the part. Ask Helen Thomas.
