- arp242 4y agoWho is locking up journalists?

- arp242 4y agoThings like "he was told to stop speaking during the governor's remarks" and "asked Lambert to stop his live reporting because they believed it was loud and disruptive" seems to indicate it's a situation escalating because ... I don't know, I wasn't there, and there doesn't seem to be any footage of these incidents. Hard to tell who is "at fault".
- emodendroket 4y agoI think the PR desk of the people accused of improperly arresting a journalist may not be an entirely neutral source for accounts of what happened.
- acdha 4y agoThey’re probably referring to this: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/09/reporter-arrested-ohio-train-derailment-00081999 https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/09/reporter-arrested-o...
- chrononaut 4y agoI assume they are referring to this single instance, as it's the only one I could find. https://apnews.com/article/law-enforcement-pennsylvania-mike-dewine-ohio-aca9f89f4b6afe701aabf9ffd2b53d0f https://apnews.com/article/law-enforcement-pennsylvania-mike... But within the article: > At the end of his news conference, [Gov. Mike] DeWine said he didn’t authorize the arrest and reporters have “every right” to report during briefings. > “If someone was stopped from doing that, or told they could not do that, that was wrong,” DeWine said. Seems OP's statement is a bit generally misleading statement for a single incident, without also knowing the full details that prompted the arrest in the first place.
- actionfromafar 4y agoFor reporting on the derailing?!
- xenospn 4y agoYes
- chrononaut 4y agoA single journalist, among many attendees, being arrested for allegedly being loud in a gymnasium during a news conference is a bit of a stretch to state as evidence that authorities are generally arresting journalists reporting on the derailing.
