While it is always possible that journalists are serving the interests of foreign governments (see: The New York Times support of the Holodomor). Targeting the family of said spies is still unacceptable.

We never tried to kill any of Bin Laden's family (as he was a black sheep and would have done nothing), and the Left used to oppose the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenburg. Even though Julius was guilty, it appears that Ethel wasn't aware of her husband's involvement. Stop targeting people's families you fucking savages.
