Journalists are rarely arrested, in part because the media elites freak out, since they apparently can never commit a crime if they're trying to interview people. Former CNN host Don Lemon can't be part of a mob violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, to which they added churches. Now if a journalist was part of a mob invading an abortion clinic, we all know the Left would freak out about that.
MRC external affairs manager Jerris Jackson and MRC Free Speech America staff writer Tom Olohan joined the show to discuss Lemon and ICE and every left-wing vice. Media elites suggested the Lemon arrest was an unprecedented descent into authoritarianism. But in March of 2024, Biden's FBI arrested journalist Steve Baker of The Blaze for being present with January 6 protesters. None of them objected to that journalist's arrest.
Ten years ago, then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris charged pro-life activist David Daleiden with 15 felony counts in California for recording conversations without consent. He interviewed Planned Parenthood staffers who explained how they sold dead baby parts for profit. As usual, the standards are based on whether or not you're on "the right side of history," and conservative journalists aren't considered journalists. Their activists are journalists, and our journalists are propagandists.
At least the Sunday shows appeared to be hedging on Lemon. CBS didn’t mention it, NBC touched on it in one question, and ABC’s George Stephanopoulos faced strong pushback from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. But on Friday night's "Thunderdome" (CNN NewsNight), host Abby Phillip incorrectly claimed that Lemon was not named in a part of the indictment where he was in fact included. She wound up being corrected by panelist and New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan. “The indictment obviously suggested that he posted himself at the main door, he prevented people from exiting.”
Speaking of CNN, their CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers at an internal town hall who "questioned the behavior" of conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings, claiming he used inappropriate terms on television like...."illegal aliens." One Democrat who's faced off with Jennings, Julie Roginsky, complained on Substack that he is “rude, dismissive, and antagonistic in ways that feel personal rather than substantive.” How would that make him stand out on CNN, considering how rude and antagonistic they are toward Republicans all the time?
Finally, Trump fans eagerly turned out and loved the new Melania documentary – and the very liberal movie-critic mob couldn't stand it. Early projections are that it will make $8.1 million at the box office in its opening weekend, much more than the first estimates of $3-5 million. The Hollywood Reporter sounded crestfallen: "No one saw that coming." They should have.
