Journalists Nick Shirley and Jon Fetherston join 'Saturday in America' to discuss Democratic efforts to criminalize investigative journalism and allegations of fraud across the country.

[Phoenix8]

I realize claims can be unfounded. Yet I’ve seen Shirley’s videos. They are taped live and he uses no obvious tricks, goes with other people, knocks on doors and records it all.

it appears this is simply the corrupt democratic machine protecting itself.

Woodward and Bernstein should be seen as War Criminals, I suppose.

Woodward and Bernstein were liars involved in sedition against President Nixon. Nick Shirley opponents are the same. They need forceful citizens arrest.

can maine be salvaged? It was such a conservative awesome state years ago-

[ClearCase_guy]

They need forceful citizens arrest.

I need to be careful about what I say. But I look around at our government and our society, and I see a lot of problems.

I don't think judges are helping us.
I don't think juries are helping us.
I don't think laws are helping us.
I don't think the Senate is helping us.
I don't think the Republican Party is helping us.
I don't think voting is helping us.

Forceful citizens arrest? Well, I think that's the kind of idea that is heading in the right direction. I will say no more.

[MtnClimber]

Well, I think that's the kind of idea that is heading in the right direction. I will say no more.

Because resisting arrest is cause for overwhelming use of force....like they use against us.

[blackdog]

Yep. (Thus insulating yourself from scrutiny)

In another video on x, Shirley is trying to interview Dem politicians as they leave the capital building.

One woman official looked to be about 25 and 5 foot tall tells him “this is no attack on journalism”.

What? It literally makes violations punishable for journalists who violate it in the amount of 10s of 1000s of dollars law.

I mean what will Dems come up with next? Men can cut their body parts off and become women?…ohhh wait.

Zenger case, can’t be libel if true, foundational

1st amendment, freedom of the press?

I was thinking the same thing. However, states now have laws preventing the press from publishing photos of arrested perps. Once convicted, they can publish the photo.

[drypowder]

Same as in Colorado when the liberals arrested, prosecuted and jailed Tina Peters for adhering to the State’s election laws. Democrat’s obviously believe if they can’t beat them, then they’ll just pass or twist the laws so they can throw their enemies in jail.

[fruser1]

That just tells you congress is involved in the scams. One of many I bet.

I live in Maine.

To answer your question, it depends on who wins the governor’s race this Fall.

Democrats hate real journalists - the old fashioned kind. Hate ‘em.

They like their stupid butt boys in the press - the liberal biased ones they’re used to... You know, the ones they own at the New York Times and Washington Post.
