One of her reasons for becoming a journalist was ( and I paraphrase here ) to shine a light on the bad guys, those that would harm people unable to protect themselves. I took this very much to heart as a journalist, and support anyone whose intention it is to do the same. I am very wary of anyone who thinks it is ok to try and shut others up for whatever reason.
