In 2018 I argued that the indictment of Julian Assange posed an imminent threat to journalism, and the same goes for the charges against @ggreenwald https://t.co/lGpespQPuL

It's only a threat to journalism if Greenwald wasn't involved in the hacking as he claims. As I'm sure everyone here knows there was a huge hacking scandal in the British press. I take a vary hard line against hacking of every kind. Computers are too important to everyone now and they need to be secure.

Clearly a related, Liz, she's thinking on the topic, she blasts Bloomberg on not divesting himself of media before running instead of muzzling his reporters because he is running:

Bloomberg News banned its reporters from investigating Democratic candidates as Mike Bloomberg runs for president. This ban puts reporters in an impossible situation and undermines a free press. Bloomberg should lift the ban and divest from Bloomberg News. https://t.co/hl2cm4nUQb
