I think the other poster was referring to the fact that he did the same
thing he got in trouble for. In other words, he was denied entrance
because he wanted to gather information for an article he was going to
write. If he needs a visa to do this, then it might be logical that the
article written about the "visit" he had in the US would also fall under
the same restriction.



it will presumably harm any future
entries - as much as any other breach of visa conditions.


I don't understand. How could his story harm any future entrants? If
anything, it might serve as an object lesson to them to make sure they
get the right visa.


I think the other poster was referring to the journalist's future
entrie, since this article was based on "research" he did while in the US.
