@RepMTG I actually disagree. I hate being lied about, sure, but that's not only the right of every journalist, it's the right of every person. You can't make it a crime to lie without making the government, the cops, and the courts the arbiters of truth.

For all those still working behind the keyboards at the institutions of great power, take a moment to appreciate that National Whistleblower Day and Sysadmin Day this year happen on the same day. Maybe it's a sign.
