I don't think that's an effective counter argument. Sourcing journalism in the 21st century means living and working with 21st century technology. It's not reasonable or realistic to tell journalists to go back to using the mail if they don't like their communications being intercepted.

You may not find it reasonable, but you're responding to somebody reasoning it, an argument like this is actually pretty common at court. “it seems kinda crazy” is a losing argument.
