They are instead:
1) those journalists and individuals willing to risk their lives, freedom, and reputations to expose the lies, conduct, and corruption in which our government engages that is contrary to our nation’s laws and constitution
and
2) those citizens who embrace the responsibility to support a free press, look for alternative sources to government propaganda, and have the courage to speak out against popular opinion when necessary.
