I don't think sedition is a crime any how. It was in the late 1790s but expired before it was challenged in court, and likely would have lost if it had been challenged. It's purpose was to help Adams politically more than to help the war effort (it's stated goal). Maybe another law has been passed since.
Of course I may not understand the legal definition of sedition just like I don't entirely understand defamation and libel. Is it libel to imply that someone committed a crime when there is no crime related to the act you are talking about?

Let me fix it for him and you'll get something I'd be more interested in an answer to
But what if you're journalist and you're making accusations of crime where there's not even a ~~charge~~ crime?

looks like I was wrong and there is another Sedition Act in 1918 also related to war efforts. Looks like it was repealed in 1920 though so as far as I can tell sedition is not currently a crime.
