| 2017-02-28 |
| h/t Instapundit Germany's foreign intelligence service BND long spied on journalists of the BBC, The New York Times, Reuters and other media, news weekly Der Spiegel reported Friday. Media rights group Reporters Without Borders labelled the alleged surveillance 'a monstrous attack on press freedom', voiced fears the eavesdropping was ongoing and said it was planning legal action, according to Der Spiegel. The magazine, which has extensively worked with US fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden and reported on US and German espionage scandals, only cited documents it had seen. Instapundit blames Trump's ANTI-MEDIA-AUTHORITARIANISM |

| #3 'a monstrous attack on press freedom' Does this mean they would have behaved differently had they not been spied upon? |
