What do they have to lose? Trump's own gag order isn't being enforced.
Just wait until their names get hacked off the NY justice system computers.
Long is the list of jailed and dead ordinary people who wrongly assumed that by association with the privileged class they would enjoy the same immunities.
Trump may die a free man despite his crimes, but journalists are working people.
A lot of us have noticed that Trump gets away with things that normal people would not, and that's not an accident. Trump can run his mouth about everyone forever, and he may never be held to account--and there are a lot of sometimes complicated reasons for that--but the same privilege absolutely does not apply to courtroom field reporters.
If I were covering this trial, I'd violate the court's instructions at my own peril.
That certainly does not mean that some folks won't be pressured to violate the order to save their livelihoods, but I would expect no less than swift and heavy consequences for people who anger the court and whose names aren't Trump.
Considering these conservative news organizations thought they could get away with slandering voting machine companies that had a lot more money than they do, I don't know that they're smart enough to not report on it.
They'll be removed from the courtroom at the very least.
