Theres no such thing as press that "crosses the line". The media's job is to report with as much truth as possible. The Times is protected under the First Amendment and even though some people may not like what a newspaper says that doesnt make it right to try and destroy that paper. The government has no right to intimidate or repress the media and any government that does is fascist. If the Times loses the ability to write what it wants then we'll have lost our most valuable right and freedom in America will be dead.
