Felony Charges for Journalists Arrested at Inauguration Protests Raise Fears for Press Freedom

From the New York Times:  At least six journalists were charged with felony rioting after they were arrested while covering the violent protests that took place just blocks from President Trump’s inauguration parade in Washington on Friday, according to police reports and court documents.


Reporters who work in DC
In jail find themselves frequently.
Without breaking laws
They’re jugged without cause
As suspects against liberty.
