From CNN anchor to court docket — journalists getting handcuffed while covering protests, and the internet can’t stop talking.
MARKETINGTRENDS
let’s cut the crap — Don Lemon, former CNN big mic, is trending today because federal agents arrested him after a church protest in Minnesota. Yeah, the dude says he was just reporting — journalism, first amendment, all that — but the feds are charging him with civil rights violations. Internet’s losing it. Some say “he broke the law,” others scream “press freedom is under attack!” The truth? This isn’t celebrity drama, it’s a street-level test of free speech. Don Lemon went independent, started speaking freer, now he’s facing federal heat. And if the government can do this to a high-profile journalist, what about every smaller reporter or blogger next? Bottom line: Don Lemon is alive, fighting, and the whole world is watching — because this isn’t just about him, it’s about whether journalists can stand in the chaos without being the target.Source Cnn
