In scenes where Kit Harrington addresses Ghost (calling him, questioning him when Ghost smelled the WW in season one etc) are Kit and Quigley really together in that scene? And does Quigley just ignore Kit/respond only to the trainers commands?

Probably a dumb question but was there hard liquor in medieval times?
I'm not sure why but I wondered that earlier today and this seems like a good place to ask.

I tentatively agree that there is a danger of police conflating protestor and press, in that a bad actor in the protest could use a “press” tab on their helmet/shirt to instigate violence and disrupt the protest and cause harm. (Note: the bad actor could be anyone seeking to disrupt the protest)
That being said, I also think that in this country the first amendment gives anyone the right to be ‘press’. There is another danger where, in wanting to clearly delineate the boundaries between protestor and reporter, the concept of ‘official press’ is pushed.
That concept is dangerous because we cannot allow press freedom to only apply to government sanctioned outlets. That would lead down a dark path.
So I think that it has to come down to the honor system and integrity. If you are covering a story, you need to be the observer who is delivering facts. If you want to be an activist, you need to be upfront about that.
