“Among all the attacks on journalists, the arrest and prosecution of [Don] Lemon is especially troubling and should strike fear in the hearts of every American, liberal or conservative. Lemon is not a big news organization — he is one, independent podcaster. He didn’t do anything wrong. He did his job. As a journalist, he followed protestors into the Cities Church of St. Paul to film their protest and interview the pastor. He did not commit a crime. He committed an act of journalism. That is protected by the First Amendment — or, at least, it used to be. As practiced by the Trump administration, the First Amendment only protects journalists or journalism that the president agrees with.” (02/03/26)
