Just holding a camera and a mic doesn't ID you as media these days.
Good point, it would be mayhem and how does a cop know. Mind you I am not up to speed on the "laws" for media, do they get any dispensation on curfew etc.

I dont know what the first step is, but, media broadcasts and fact check needs to be brought into line. But then who's line, who is the judge? Ultimate responsibility is with the consumer but there needs to be a better watch dog system.

Just think of a topic you/we are knowledgeable about, look how the media report on it and then stop and think about all the topics we are not familiar with and how much of the reports are biased BS. Bit scary.
