The problem is the ideology that leads them to believe what they do and thus to behave as they do — in ways that cannot coexist with a free press.

Because this danger comes from within the institutions that are supposed to sustain a public sphere, it is a much more direct threat than anything coming from without

By framing her own reporting as largely mitigating blame for the student journalists, the reporter accepts the ideology driving the protesters as a given — but it’s that ideology that is the true agent here
