Original Note:
The journalist’s critical comments are not illegal speech. Criticism of public figures, even harsh opinions, is protected by free speech and doesn’t require “accountability” beyond public or editorial response. Demanding punishment risks censoring protected expression. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech
