Just to agree on our respective positions, my understanding is that you are claiming that the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine should apply to journalism and news.
I would argue that this has very easily exploited consequences: if you want something to be ignore just hire some hacker to surgically hack parts of that information. Not enough to be criminal, and you are safe from the court of public opinion.
Wikileaks actively agreed to launder and selectively release Russian military hacked materials for specific political purposes.
Referring to that as journalism is an insult to actual journalists.
No that's the active measures of a spy agency.
