The masking and privacy laws are designed to protect the average citizen.

No, the Constitution of the United States is designed to protect ALL citizens from the govt.
If you THINK it's a "non-story"...then why are you defending CNN deciding what you can and can NOT know about?
If it's so "harmless", then why aren't they simply reporting the freakin' news and letting you SEE it for yourself to decide what you think.
Not that what any of us THINK matters anyway. What matters is that our Founding Fathers drew up a Constitution to protect us from our govt. becoming this intrusive.
I'm pretty sure that is what you swore to protect when you were a Marine.
And now you are "okay" with a biased media outlet like CNN censoring what you can and can't know about the govt. and things that they are doing?
You think it's good "reporting" when they spend an entire day analyzing a "report" with "panels" of "experts" that Trump was "angry" that the healthcare bill was pulled?
And a "non-story" when the head of the NSA under Obama goes to the intelligence agency's and has them unmask names that the intelligence agency's themselves didn't feel needed to be unmasked in the first place?
THAT is a "non-story"?
