Local news🚨has been decimated over the past decade, but even if a community has a lg #newspaper, the owner will often skew the coverage to highlight RW causes. Ours is read by many ppl in a city of ~400K & a county of 925K.
I'm livid, our paper (pub: 5 days/wk) didn't mention the #NoKings #protest, ~1,500 attended +100s in other towns in the co. Co is red, but the city is becoming purple *local pols: mainly Repubican.
TG, a member of our Dem org, wrote a published op-ed.

The #school said much of the information that the #government had requested is not collected. #Students & #faculty groups also condemned the government’s demand for a #list of #Jews, drawing a parallel to methods deployed in #Nazi Germany.
The case has represented a test of how far the #government can go to investigate its suspicions about antisemitism in higher #education, & Judge Pappert’s decision could shape how aggressively the #Trump admin pursues inquiries on other campuses.

According to the department of justice, journalists who ask government officials the "wrong" questions are committing a crime.
"What was once a fringe, failed legal theory concocted by some local cops in one Texas border city is now the official position of the federal government’s lawyers ...
The government’s argument would have turned countless Pulitzer-winning national security reporters into criminals"

You can't have content without the capability to record that content. You can't have media about the government wihout access to government records. That's the existing standard. The #SupremeCourt has ruled on this already. Now they've shat the bed. They just allowed a lower court to block a case using the voided-by-congress legislated-from-the-bench doctrine called #QualifiedImmunity. This was established settled law before qualified immunity was innovated in the 1960s to protect a cabinet member, let alone in the 1990s when they gave a beat cop the same rules. When #AntoninScalia warned us with a chapter in a book about the court's problems, and #SoniaSotomayor agrees with him, where are the other judges? 
Because of course some rando with a random #FaceBook comment about another country was more important than whatever the hell we're supposed to believe #Police do.
Good Morning, all,
it's Freedom Of Speech, but Donald Tantrump would not approve of it...
