It is wild to me that the #NYT would call the right to be free from social consequences a “fundamental right” and it presumably made it past multiple reviews.
It is directly in conflict with First Amendment rights of free speech and association.
Which is the core set of (truly) fundamental rights which underpins their entire organization.
It’s a warning. No, like many other institutions which are critical to democracy: the Press cannot save us either.
EDITED: One of journalism's consistent flaws is ignoring relevant context.
Case in point is this NY Times story about a judge tossing out a new federal regulation limiting extortionate credit card late fees.
Here's the context the Times didn't care to include: The financial companies went forum shopping, and landed one of their favorite Trump-appointed judges, who (to his credit) objected to the process, but then predictably ruled against the administration.
