It's possible that they could face serious charges. Far be it from me to claim that the court system will be fair to Leftist Activists rather than preferential, but this does step on the power and authority of the court, rather than appealing to it.
So, if we are considering the court system as a purely political organization dedicated to maintaining it's soft-power authority (which is much more realistic), the journalists are stepping out of line and interfering with another predator's territory, which guarantees violence from the affronted predator. A judge may be absolutely willing to put a journalist in jail for contempt of court, even if they won't put them in jail for rioting and assault on a police officer.
They might all agree with each other's side on a coalition, but their not all in the same unit or faction. You don't cross a judge in his courtroom for a reason, they take it very personally.

I think a large number of leftist judges would hop at the opportunity to let their comrades in journalism skate on any such offense.
