"but when a journalist who, again, is here legally is picked up by law enforcement and then his immigration status is called into question… it’s alarming.”

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, a stark reminder from KAL (2017) about the forces that menace a free press. The faces may shift, but the fight for truth and accountability continues.

#PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime #DefendJournalism
Political cartoon by KAL (2017): A group of diverse journalists holding a 'FREE PRESS' banner are huddled defensively in the center, surrounded by a circle of large, snarling wolves. Each wolf is ridden by a caricature of a world leader from that era (including Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Duterte) and labeled with a country name (like Turkey, Philippines, Russia, USA, Venezuela), symbolizing global threats to press freedom.

Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

Absolutely a great investigative documentary by @frontlinepbs.bsky.social; strongly recommended!
Makes one wonder about the 'business' (economic) dealings between Bukele and Trump.

Another thing these two autocrats have in common is designating media as "the enemy"...

#DefendJournalism #Don'tBendTheKnee

Freedom of the press matters. Don't bend the knee. When Trump kicked AP out of his press conference if all the other press had followed that would have halted things.

Appeasement does not work with bullies. Our Emperor Has No Clothes.
