I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to express the same perfect self-confidence that you appear to have, but article 7 only applies if your use of the data is based on consent in the first place - which is only one of the options for legal justification of processing under article 6.

Of course, each member state is free to create exceptions to all of those articles for anything they consider journalism, which makes it even harder to make absolutely certain pronouncements on the legality of of any specific work which might fall under that category, but let's not get too complicated. Suffice to say that I think a court case on the question would be longer and less straightforward than you appear to think.
