how does the law works?

Every countries have their own laws to prosecute the criminals or anyone that threaten the safety of the country.

The other day i saw these news:

Politician A stated a racist statement on an election campaign, a Journalist S recorded the statement and published on Newspaper S. Few days later Journalist S was arrested for reporting the article that will threaten the safety of the country, and Newspaper S was asked to explain about the article, and threaten to stop its license of publication.

ok...interesting law...

At the same time, Politician K (from the same party as Politician A) accused Politician T (from different party) for not respecting others religion practice on his blog. Journalist U from Newspaper U published it, the Politician T was arrested. No actions taken towards the journalist and the newspaper co.

OH! this even interesting....so now is the politician's fault not the journalist?

Sometime I'm seriously have no idea how some laws work. Enlighten me! Pleaseee!!!
