    Right. It’s impossible to get information into the public’s hands.

    Journalism exists for no more important reason than to be a check on powerful, dangerous people. Third degree burns are also “no fun,” but firefighters exist.

      No, it’s impractical to do so without escaping the country or going to prison.

      Your example makes no sense, putting out fires is legal, nonpolitical, encouraged and as far as I’m aware there’s no time place manner limitations on it either.
