Eh, it's the trendy thing to do lately, it seems. Everyone is committing treason. Some newspaper prints something you don't like? Treason! Someone says something you don't like? Treason! Someone looks at you sideways? Treason!
It's gotten to the point where treason is virtually meaningless now. It's importance has been diluted down to where it no longer holds any sort of respect.
Treason just seems so understated, and the penalties too mild for their crimes.

Might be by design. People have become numb to many things that were unspeakable 50 years ago.
