===James Gordon Meek child pornography case===
On January 31, 2023, [[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] reporter [[James Gordon Meek]] was arrested by the FBI and charged with transporting child pornography. ''Rolling Stone'' initially broke the story, but did not mention the child sexual abuse images that led to the investigation, which were known to the reporters. Instead, it suggested that Meek had been "targeted" by the US government for his reporting on national security issues, writing that "Meek appears to be on the wrong side of the national-security apparatus".<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/fbi-raid-abc-news_producer-1234613619/|title=FBI Raids Star ABC News Producer's Home|magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=March 23, 2023|date=October 18, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221019003915/https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/fbi-raid-abc-news_producer-1234613619/ |archive-date=October 19, 2022 }}</ref> In the following months, it was revealed that ''Rolling Stone'' editor [[Noah Shachtman]], who personally knows Meek and is considered friendly with him, had the story rewritten before publication to exclude all mentions of the child sexual abuse material, without the original journalist Tatiana Siegel's knowledge.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Folkenflick |first=David |date=March 21, 2023 |title=The FBI raided a notable journalist's home.
