Catherine Herridge has integrity, one of the few true journalists that does.

[@charP8456]

Catherine is a wonderful person and we need more journalists like her. Even the schools of journalism at this point is corrupt. These schools need to be revamped and the instructors thrown out of their positions. I am so saddened by what Catherine has been through in this nation!!! We have got to close these propaganda machines down. No longer can we have criminals demanding corporations in this nation to commit crimes to keep their doors open. Which I believe is happening over and over again by strong arm tactics.

[@markmacdonald8512]

True, but it seems that there are also too many that are more than happy to oblige those criminal government agencies.

[@centariprime9959]

I too am suspicious.

[@gravitytwo4088]

The reason why they are FOR this bill is because a law can be changed in the future. and it puts it into the control of the government. The Bill of Rights is about WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T TOUCH and CAN'T HAVE ANY SAY IN. It's better to be left to the 1st Amendment and do law suits against those who go against it. And note that Democrats are FOR THIS, because they'll just hack what they want anyway, like the Clinton campaign hacked into Trump's harddrives.

[@strongheartwoman1931]

IMHO, the Dems are happy to protect the corporate media, NOT the individual journalists that go against the daily corporate and government talking points that benefit them.

It’s refreshing to finely see protection legislation of the press. This is long overdue. The fact that these abuses are allowed in the first place in a free society is shocking.😮 Weaponizing the DOJ as a result is also shocking.

[@grizzlygrizzle]

There really need to be criminal penalties for DOJ officials and judges interfering with press freedom. Of course, with a corrupt DOJ, who would enforce them?

[@lacylaizure6540]

It is crazy they can inflict that much personal financial damage on a reporter, not just the company she worked for. Yet, we have people in office blowing our money, forcing everyone to pay higher inflation, doing illegal things, lawfare, etc. but they are never held personally accountable. We need to demand they are held personally accountable as well! Whoever brought this case against this reporter for exercising her rights needs to be put in the same financial bind they put her in.

Malum In Se/Malum Prohibitum Nothing moral requires authority. Authority is the claim to the exclusive exemption to morality. It is a monopoly on violence. Violence is a violation because it is the initiation of aggression, not self-defense. Offense/defense are ontologically distinct. All crime has a legal equivalent (ie, taxation is extortion). Every government is founded on Ad Baculum. Petitio Principii can and will be used against you. Warren v. District of Columbia Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales DeShaney v. Winnebago County Lozito v. New York City You are legally compelled via the logical fallacies Ad Populum, Ad Baculum and Ad Verecundiam to pay for protection that they are not legally obligated to provide. That's a mafia. The highest Abrahamic value is Ignorance of Good and Evil. It's right there in Genesis. They worship Yaldabaoth, God of the Scapegoaters: God blames Man; Man blames Woman; Woman blames Serpent; Serpent blames God, more accurately - the Serpent defines God.

Those who do not perform the cult's rite can never enjoy full social status. Symbols of the castrated member, the tie and bow-tie, are mandatory accoutrements of the political wardrobe and phallic monuments are erected to commemorate the minds conquered long ago. Brute force is no longer necessary. The capitalist priest class of Psychiatry, working in tandem with the State bureaucracy, regulates and polices the new Restriction and gelding of desire. Psychiatrists, along with other legal arbiters, help to obscure justice with grey areas of intentionality, mental state, etc. Some mistake this as a system of Liberty, ignorant of the fact that Psychiatric Control is a cornerstone of the perfected Totalitarian State. All modern illnesses come from the absurd and tragic struggle of man's inability to bridle Nature. This dogma echoes perpetually, omnisciently by understanding voices in self-help books, billboards, radio commercials and television talk shows to convince the public to practice continual self-suppression and hormonal restraint. Any deviation is an indication of something severely wrong with the individual. Perhaps Lycanthropic Transformation Rites are in some way a Psychic Preparation for the millennial calamities that are thought to lie ahead. Legalism is a Language of Equivocations, a process of assimilation to violence and illogic.

They want all the collective praise and none of the collective blame (No True Scotsman). If they were truly concerned for their reputation they wouldn’t wear a uniform. Badges are just snowflakes. "Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. [...] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." - Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation - 1981) "Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions. And so it goes, on and on." - Alfred Korzybski (Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics - 1933) "I am a cosmopolitan." - Diogenes "If I could not be Alexander, I should wish to be Diogenes." - Alexander the Great "A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years." - Lysander Spooner (No Treason: Constitution of No Authority - 1867) "It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement." - Étienne de la Boétie (Discours de la servitude volontaire ou le Contr'un - 1577) "Leadership in government is political power, and political power is an official form of antagonizing the people. Politics are rules imposed upon the people. They have every man in a straight jacket and without a passport he cannot move a toe. In a free world, they violate the natural rights of every citizen. They have become the weapons of political despots and if you don't think as they think you're deprived of your passport." - Michael Chaplin as Rupert Macabee (A King in New York - 1957) "Imagine, if you will, a world filled only with criminals of whom there are two classes: those too honest to rationalize their crimes and the powerful who scapegoat them." - Rod Serling "Eye have no Moral Obligation to ask permission from the person to whom Eye Morally Object if Eye may exercise mEye Moral Objection." - Unknown

Well i knew along time ago when it said. (We find these facts to be self evident) So that means that what created me owns me and deserves my reverance to those universal laws and as a believer in the constitusion i as a citizen also owe my reverance to this valuable document,self evident is a faith in truth and moral judgement. If that is removed than so is my reverance. And that also is self evident.

I as a child learned that one of our rights is freedom of press. I think I understand this doesn’t give press to lie to citizens or work with govt. to control this freedom. These things are in jeopardy at moment. We need to hold press accountable for abuses but to go after a journalist of high integrity is not the govt. right. Having hearings and showing the other side at election season is equally morally wrong. Let’s have true hearings with teeth.

Suggestion note to the live Editor: When covering important House or Senate testimony it would be helpful to your viewers to make the Forbes Banner transparent (or move the banner into camera head space) so it doesn't cover over the names of Congress members and Witness names.
