It seems equally newsworthy that the administration actively worked toward pardoning domestic terrorists who were involved in blocking women from accessing a clinic and punished under the FACE act and complained about that act in the past, but felt no issue in using the same act to punish a...

<modsnip: Removed personalizing comments> Lemon had every right to be there and document the situation. If the act meant to punish people from blocking access to a clinic was ignored and mocked by an administration that pardoned people previously prosecuted by it, then they should have to...

My point is it WAS applied to white Christian protesters and they were all pardoned, and the administration which pardoned them — the same administration obsessed with silencing and punishing news agencies and journalists — turned around and used that act to punish someone acting on their...

Because this government has put Christian nationalists into power and aggressively used it as an excuse to violate and oppress the rights of others in this country despite the supposed separation of Church and State. And when you use an act that was made to protect the right of women to access...

And those “protesters” were preventing women from accessing healthcare which was within their rights. They violated and were prosecuted under the FACE act, which is literally named after defending the right to access clinics without disruption. They were aggressively harassing and stopping women...

You still didn’t answer my question. Why is one group of people exempt from the FACT act while another being punished by it? No one at the church Don Lemon was documenting was hurt, and he wasn’t responsible for committing anything close to violence. Are disruptions okay at clinics because our...

That’s your opinion. Anti-abortion activists have been executing doctors, nurses, and bombing clinics for decades, resulting in the deaths of dozens and dozens of innocent citizens. They have long been known as a domestic terrorist group. Journalists don’t have the same history. And the law was...

The Trump administration gleefully pardoned nearly two dozen anti-abortionists who violently blocked abortion clinics and terrorized women trying to access healthcare and were prosecuted under the FACE act. They mocked it and said it violated American rights to protest. Why have they changed...

Considering anti-abortion activists have been a part of one the most violent domestic terrorist groups in our country, it’s absolutely obscene to try and compare that to one nonviolent incident in a church that a journalist documented. To pardon a bunch of religious terrorists who should have...

Obviously it’s my opinion, I’m the one who typed it out and shared it. I’m not the only one who feels this way, though: “IMO”/“MOO”

Gotta love the Trump administration using the FACE act to imprison journalists when they previously beat their chest over pardoning anti-abortion activists which violated it in the past. Strange how the white Christian defendants blocking and interrupting an abortion clinic and subsequently...

Yeah, because it’s not like this administration has been caught manipulating photo and video footage with AI for their own purposes at all. One more reason to justify independent journalists being present to document events that they have every right to. Interviewing people and filming events...

Same way anyone in that church service or the law enforcement involved in this case could be lying too, right? I mean, if you don’t think she’s being honest, then why do you believe others involved are? Is there a certain quality involved that one would possess that makes you believe that one...

Journalists don’t need to “justify” the stories they are following or why. The purpose of journalism is to document, and especially in the time we are living in where fair and free news media is being denied, devalued, and dismantled in favor of disinformation. Journalists have a right to report...

My apologies for using that reference sarcastically, totally forgetting that the true Prince of the people was from Minnesota himself. He doesn’t deserve being associated with such a dweeb, even in jest.
