FBI Arrests Jan 6 Journalist! (Jimmy Dore)

More than three years after the riots at the Capitol, the FBI have arrested conservative journalist Steven Baker for his role in the January 6 “insurrection.” Baker was placed in cuffs and shackles over what amount to misdemeanor charges — he is not accused of any vandalism or other riotous activity, merely for entering the Capitol building.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Baker’s case represents a clear assault on freedom of the press.



Dictatorship USA ... from the Jimmy Dore Show. Remember, you have the right to protest, and if the boot was on the other foot, with no ballot auditing and no due process, then one would be entitled to protest. The rioting was out of hand, but it was not an insurrection.

Furthermore, there should have been mass protests over Kerry's loss to Bush in 2004, where there was clear evidence of machine vote count cheating. The exit poll data was wildly off everywhere where there was machine counting. The same standard that is applied in other countries around the world, to detect cheating, was ignored in the USA in 2004. If you are cheering on this repression, because you have picked a side, then you have wretched thinking. The same standard needs to apply no matter what party is involved.
