Wow this is bad. Even if you deem questioning necessary, it being done by border protection is a bad sign. There are other mechanisms in place for that.
The US is spiraling fast.
Question
When do who exactly deem that "questioning" journalists is a good idea? Who? Can anyone deem anyone else for "questioning"?
What are the wrong answers? What is the questions about? What do they question about and why?
Hasan is on tape saying his goal is to radicalise his audience. Calling him a journalist mightve sound plausible four years ago.
Sorry, you're right. He's an influencer. He will say anything that appeals to his clan. But these types are so incapable of engineering anything that doesn't funnel into building an audience
If there were legitimate questions about someone's affiliation with terrorist organisations it does make sense to question them regardless of if they are a journalist or not.
Edit: to clarify I don't agree with what happened in this case and I would expect a warrant
That's totalitarian mentality.
But.. Is this the case with this guy? He can be investigated by watching and concluding that he says what he thinks is a cool leftist guy would say and don't hold any beliefs at all to rival his need for an audience that can prove his worth to himself which quickly becomes a desperate way to live
Oh almost certainly not. I've clarified my comment
