Biden Regime Wages War on First Amendment, Comes After Conservative Journalists
Conservative journalists are finding themselves the targets of oppressive lawfare tactics evidently for exposing Joe Biden’s corruption.
On Friday, footage showed Blaze journalist Steve Baker being made to do a perp walk as he was taken into custody to face charges over his reporting involving the Jan. 6 debacle.
Baker, who attended J6 as an independent journalist, has been reporting on the anomalies surrounding the government’s official narrative of what happened that day, including dispelling false narratives spewed by Capitol Police regarding the timeline of events and the mysterious pipe bomb found at the DNC.
On Friday, after reporting to a federal courthouse in handcuffs, Baker was charged with:
- Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority
- Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds
- Disorderly conduct in a capitol building
- Parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building
The arrest was roundly criticized on social media, with many noting the Biden regime’s so-called preservation of democracy appears to include jailing opposition journalists.
Fortunately, Baker was released shortly after appearing in court.
Likewise, recently ousted CBS News investigative journalist Catherine Herridge, who was fired by her network last month, was held in contempt in federal court on Thursday after refusing to reveal her sources pertaining to reports she wrote for Fox News in 2017 alleging Chinese-American scientist Yanping Chen was under FBI investigation.
Of course, safeguarding sources in order to pursue news stories that benefit the public interest is part and parcel of the press freedom protections enshrined in the First Amendment.
As noted by former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, freedom of the press is ironically under attack by the very administration which claims to champion democracy.
“Those who pontificate about ‘threats to our democracy’ should take a hard look at the threats to freedom of the press,” Ramaswamy stated on X Friday.
