I believe that posting home addresses of persons caught up in public controversy is a violation of journalistic ethics. But it’s a tactic that has become quite common on the Left in recent years.

“Journalistic ethics” is an oxymoron.

Journalistic ethics? If these were journalists that would apply. These are just the promotional arm of the Dimwit party.

When someone is sufficiently malicious or dangerous, I believe posting their address is acceptable. As one example, when a journalist posts the address of an innocent person to help thugs in finding and harming the innocent person, I'm okay with the poetic justice in posting the evil journalist's address. To take a worse case, when the most dangerous terrorist in the history of our country continues to damage America, I'm okay with posting the address where he is hiding out (highlight to read): 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500 . . .
