Re: Sometimes the jokes write themselves... Archived Message Posted by Tomski on October 28, 2020, 12:23 pm, in reply to "Sometimes the jokes write themselves..." What have they been smoking? : ) Meanwhile another little snippet from that article, near the end: In another potential threat to independent journalism, the Department of Homeland Security has proposed reducing the length of journalist visas from five years to 240 days with the possibility of just one extension, which would be contingent on a DHS review of “the content that the foreign information media representative is covering in the United States”. “The proposed changes by the DHS would restrict the ability of independent foreign news organizations from reporting news within the US and could lead to reprisals affecting US journalists in other countries,” the president of the Society of Professional Journalists, Matthew Hall, said. “Both outcomes are unacceptable.” I didn't realise how it normally works i.e. 5 years visa etc. Sounds like a serious restriction.
