The lemon is an example.

I actually talk about this in Rage in the Republic, because I talk about the press, and the role of the press in what I call mobocracy, you know, that we saw this with the French Revolution, we see it today, where you have journalists that blur the line between the press and advocates.

And as you know, Megan, and J schools now around the country, journalism schools, there's a rejection of objectivity and neutrality in these J schools.

And so people like Lemon are sort of the face of that movement that good journalists

are advocates. Well, that makes this a much more difficult question, as you pointed out,

was he there as a journalist or as an advocate? And so Lemon is going to force that issue.

It's just that most judges will tend to run home on this First Amendment

issue. They will view this as a journalistic exercise.

That is George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, speaking with Megan Kelly,

about charges filed against journalist Don Lemon for interfering with a Christian worship service.

There has been a lot of editorializing and opinionizing about this arrest.

There hasn't been as much hard news.

Why is that?

Greetings and welcome to issues, et cetera, live on this Wednesday afternoon, February the 4th.
