If It's Irresponsible For Emily Kohrs To Give Interviews Then Why Is The Media Interviewing Her?

Emily Kohrs, who served as the forewoman of the special grand jury for Fulton County DA Fani Willis' investigation into defeated, former President Trump's attempts to influence the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia, is getting a lot of heat for giving media interviews. 

A MSNBC editorial from Barbara McQuade called Kohrs' interviews reckless yet she did not take NBC News to task for interviewing Kohrs

Over at CNN, Anderson Cooper and former federal prosecutor Elie Honig blasted Kohrs for doing the interviews but neither raised any objection to CNN's interview of Kohrs.

USA Today raised objections to Kohrs' interviews but that didn't stop them from trying to make "multiple attempts" to reach her

While one can take Kohrs to task going public concerning the work of the special grand jury, the media cannot have it both ways. If the statements made by Kohrs in her interviews truly compromise this investigation in any way, then it is the responsibility of the media not to engage Kohrs nor anyone else who served on the special grand jury at this time.
