FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!

Seven police and sheriff's officers in Kansas on Friday raided the Marion County Record newspaper and its publisher’s house, raising concerns over freedom of the press in the United States.

By confiscating all seven of its computers, the paper was struggling to find a way to publish its next issue!

This is story is wild: a police department raided the Marion County Record in retaliation because one of the reporters viewed information on an influential person; there was no affidavit filed to obtain the search warrant, and several elderly people were put under undue stress and endangered, and in fact one, Joan Meyer, has died.

Remember that a judge signed the warrant to search and seize the Marion County Record, but there was no affidavit to base the warrant off of?

Well, gee, there may be a reason for that: corrupt people always back other corrupt people, on the basis of mutual corrupt back scratching.

And there's more!

The cops are now "withdrawing the warrant"--after disrupting the paper's operation, costing them money, and with the stress causing the death of one of the co-owners, now they go, "oopsies, here's your shit, no harm done"?

The paper is bringing a federal suit and GOOD FOR THEM.

Dear around the World!

Here in many of us are grateful about your articles of our new - far right government.

It was because of the pressure of your articles that finally drove the -connected The Minister for Economic Affairs Vilhem to resign.

But there's more!

And if you do report about the events and about the new ministers, mainly in the party , it would make a difference.

Already we've seen an episode in which the MP's from -party and harassed a young for days, because she wrote a critical column about the Finns party, and, for instance, their will to narrow free media.

The harassment was so bad, that even condemned it with strong words.

Damn, unhinged indeed!

Some say journalists shouldn't go knocking on people's doors like this, and I agree in a way; I think it should be a last resort.

But no journalist should have their lives threatened and be assaulted for doing their job. Ever!
