I think Democracy Now! is one of the most biased programs out there. However, it's in a unique position where that bias is effectively necessary to do the kind of reporting they do. Moreover, their position doesn't align well with the current "left-wing" and "right-wing" mainstreams. That's also valuable. In nay case, this has nothing to do with being arrested. Biased journalism is not grounds for arrest.

Editorialists are both journalists and opinionated; Bill O'Reilly and Paul Krugman are journalists too. Taking a side doesn't exempt her from first amendment protections.
