If you have an opportunity to act and it's your fucking job to report stories of public interest, and you choose not to - you're complicit.

Trump attacks both of them regularly already, so what are they afraid of - more name-calling? Media regulations? No. They're not afraid of journalists being imprisoned, that would be an enormous boon to their reputations. They're afraid of their owner's and executives wealth being targeted. Bezos obviously re WaPo, and the NYT is chaired and owned by a sea of corporate interests and billionaires.

The media is supposed to be the fourth estate, but in the US it's just another corporate-captured tool serving the status quo and the billionaire class.
