Not sure this is so much brain dead as... billionaires own all of our major media corporations and they're pretty keen to support foreign investments in the gulf states and, until very recently, Russia.
Blaming this on journalist incompetence and not ownership literally defunding newsrooms and having complete editorial control is a bit off the mark.
We're long overdue for a global GDPR framework. Implementing it seems impossible due to the financial and logistical incentives for corporations and government, but we've handled worse issues on a global stage. >

I mean how can you protect citizens rights to constitutional privacy without one? All these foreign spy agencies, government contractors and private corporations swaying elections and collecting meta data is a threat to democracy, or a moral hazard at the very least >

With roe overturned do we have a constitutional right to privacy? Where is it? >

I don't use TikTok; so it seems to me like using tiktok for confidential communications was a rather stupid thing for a professional journalist to do. But maybe tiktok is somehow essential for them, and I'm just not in the loop? >

The media is generally pretty brain dead and only working for their paycheck.
See US media not caring that US Gov just convicted a Twitter employee for being a spy for Saudi Arabia, meanwhile Saudi government is now one of the major owners of Twitter. Says everything you need to know about us. The people that helped to make 9/11 possible only has to spend enough money lobbying and buying PR and both the US gov and media will not care what you do.
The US gov literally accused the Saudi spy of doxing Saudi dissidents whom were promptly chopped up and then let Elon with MBS buy Twitter while freaking out about Tik Tok. We're the same country that classified portions of the 9/11 Commission's Report that detailed a Saudi intelligence operative helping Al Qaeda in San Diego. Al Qaeda even filmed them hanging out with him, which was uncovered when they raided the Hamburg cell, you can see parts of that video on Youtube.
EDIT: I like the Saudi downvotes. >

The media did cover it though. If you look up the story there are articles from all the major news outlets. >

It wasn't covered as the top news item and instead was buried under other news due to Saudi PR spending. Many US entities are cautious about writing about Gulf States because through a myriad of companies, they own a lot of US assets. Like hardly anyone knows the Miramax is owned by a Gulf State.
And the media didn't see the hypocrisy between US government prosecuting a Saudi spy and then weeks later let the Saudi's help Elon buy Twitter.
EDIT: Saudi shills are downvoting hard.
