Gary O'Donoghue meets local newspaper editors in America to hear about the challenge of reporting during a divisive presidential election campaign. In Kansas, Gary visits Eric Meyer, the owner and editor of the Marion County Record. In August 2023 the paper's offices, and the home of its 90-year-old owner, Eric's mother Joan, were raided by the town's five person police department. A "good old fashioned newspaper war" has been playing out in Westcliffe, Colorado, where Gary meets Jordan Hedberg, editor of the Wet Mountain Tribune. In the same town, the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel, promises “a different view from the same mountains”. Gary also hears about how trust in local news, which has traditionally played a big part in local politics, is being eroded.

Iran rejected a call on Tuesday by three European countries urging it to refrain from any retaliatory attacks against Israel that would further escalate regional tensions. Iran termed the call for restraint an “excessive request,” saying the plea lacks political logic and contradicts principles of international law.A former Kansas police chief who led a raid on a local newspaper last year has been charged with felony obstruction of justice. The single charge against former Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody alleges that he knowingly or intentionally influenced a witness to withhold information on the day of the raid at the Marion County Record.The United Auto Workers Union said it has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk over alleged attempts to threaten and intimidate workers. The action came after Musk and Trump held a two-hour conversation on X, during which the two discussed workers walking off the job to go on strike.

A year after the police raid on the Marion County Record newsroom in Kansas, a survey found that even journalists were unclear about protections afforded to them under state and federal law.

The former police chief of Marion, Kansas, will face criminal charges for his role in a raid of the Marion County Record. The raid made national headlines last year and drew attention from state investigators and First Amendment advocates.

Hour 3 - The charges are recommended after an illegal police raid of the Marion County Record newspaper.  

Sherman Smith, Kansas Reflector editor in chief, and Marisa Kabas, founder of The Handbasket, talk about changes in Marion one year after police raided the newspaper office, and how the raid impacts journalism.

If Archer did give birth, her baby could only be treated with surgeries and lifelong help – pain that Archer was unwilling to put a newborn through. Without those surgeries, which the infant might not survive, Archer's baby would die shortly after birth.But due to Tennessee's near-total abortion ban, Archer could not terminate her pregnancy in her home state and, instead, had to wait more than three weeks for an appointment at an out-of-state abortion clinic.“I don't want to confide in a stranger that I'm having to get an abortion because my baby can't survive outside of my womb and I can't get the care that I need as soon as I need it,” Archer recalled thinking. “Those three weeks were really bizarre, challenging, painful – beyond what it needed to be.”Investigation Into Marion Co.

A small Kansas newspaper, the Marion County Record, was the target of a raid by the local police force last August. Now, the paper is suing the police and other government officials arguing that they violated the First Amendment.

It's been nearly three months since the law enforcement raid on the Marion County Record newspaper. Since then, the town's police chief has resigned, and reporters have kept digging into the situation. Kansas Reflector opinion editor Clay Wirestone leads a conversation with Marion County Record editor and publisher Eric Meyer, and Kansas Reflector editor in chief Sherman Smith.

Donald Trump was back in court for the third day of a civil fraud trial—testimony from two former accountants singling out Eric Trump. Marion County Police Chief Gideon Cody resigned after the controversial raid of the Marion County Record newspaper in August. Carol Leonnig, Susan Glasser, Joyce Vance, Conor Lamb, Tim Miller, Sheelah Kolhatkar, Eric Meyer join.

The Top Hat crew sits down with editor-in-chief of the Kansas Reflector, Sherman Smith, to break down the still developing story of what happened in Marion County last week where Police staged a "Gestapo-style" raid on The Marion County Record, seizing computers, records, cellphones, and contributing to the death of the newspaper's 98-year-old co-owner.

In this episode — stories of small towns, starting with a moral quandary for Stephen in the smallest town of all: the open ocean(?) What would he do if a rogue otter tried to steal his surfboard?  From there we get territorial on two country songs that are topping the charts of the culture war: Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" and Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond." Both songs are big conservative talking points, but while Aldean's traffics in big-city stereotypes, Anthony's is a folky class commentary, even if its policy positions are a little wonky. Which leads us down a two-lane road to a real exploration of power in small towns: the saga of the Marion County Record, a Kansas newspaper raided by local police for reasons that sound more personal than professional. While the cops had to return what they snatched, the tale shows how small-town stories can have international implications. Stow your surfboard, pull up a stump, and let's jam a bit about class, press freedom, and greedy sea mammals.

Mickey and Eleanor co-host this week's episode of the Project Censored Show. In the first half of the program, Mickey speaks with Dave Lindorff about the remarkable story of Ted Hall, a scientific genius who was put to work on the WW II Manhattan Project while still in his teens, then gave his knowledge of atomic secrets to the USSR, to prevent the US from being the world's sole nuclear power. Lindorff also shares information from declassified military documents from the 1940s and 1950s about US planning for a nuclear first strike against the USSR. In the second half of the show Mickey and Eleanor discuss recent attacks against press freedom in the US, from the now-well-known police raid on the Marion County Record in Kansas, to other cases of government interference with media that haven't had as much scrutiny. Dave Lindorff is a long-time investigative reporter who written on topics from health care to the Mumia abu-Jamal case. His new book on Ted Hall, “Spy For No Country: The Story of Ted Hall, The Teenage Atomic Spy Who May Have Saved the World” will be in print later this year. He's also the co-producer of a new film about Hall, “The Compassionate Spy.” His online work can be found at www.thiscantbehappening.net The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy. The post The amazing true story of Ted Hall / Mickey and Eleanor discuss press freedom – Project Censored – September 1, 2023 appeared first on KPFA.

Kansas Reflector editor-in-chief Sherman Smith joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about the police raid on the tiny Marion County Record. He explains the newspaper's investigation of the DUI history of a local restaurant owner who'd applied for a liquor license, which led to an August 11 raid of both the newspaper's office and publishers' home. The local magistrate, with her own DUI history, signed the warrant that alleged possible identity theft by one of the reporters. Sherman explains what the police took, why it was ultimately returned, and why he's encouraged by the national and international response that sends the message that this treatment of journalists will not be tolerated. He also reads from the Reflector's initial reporting.

On August 11, City of Marion police officers and Marion County deputies raided the office of the Marion County Record newspaper; the home of its co-owners, Eric Meyer and his 98 year old mother, Joan Meyer; and the home of Marion vice mayor Ruth Herbel, 80. Joan passed away the following day with many attributing her death to the stress of the raid. The unprecedented raid sent shockwaves throughout the journalism community and generated international headlines for the small town of just 2,000 people.

When the Marion County Record, a small town Newspaper, was raided and had computers, devices and records seized by the Police it caused world-wide attention on this small Kansas town and publication.  Our friend, Sam MacRoberts, Litigation Director for Kansas Justice Institute is the one I wanted to talk with.  Sam and KJI represent those who cannot represent themselves against government over reach.  KJI is not representing those in this case and they are representing the Constitution as Sam shares with us the severe problems with Government ignoring your 1st and 4th Amendment Rights. 

Earlier this month, there was big trouble in little Marion, Kansas, where an entire police department raided the offices of the Marion County Record, a small, family-owned newspaper about 60 miles north of Wichita, with seven employees and a circulation of about 4,000. To discuss this alarming violation of press freedom, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Caitlin Vogus, Deputy Director of Advocacy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation. They talked about what motivated the raid, how it went down, and the chilling effect this kind of thing can have on small town newspapers and big media organizations alike. They also discussed what journalists—from lone freelancers to sizable newsrooms—can do to protect themselves from all manner of press freedom violations.

On August 11, 2023, the police force in Marion County, Kansas, raided the Marion County Record on grounds some now consider shaky -- even unconstitutional. To explore why this has become central in the discussion of freedom of the press, KCSB's Zoha Malik speaks to Jim Wagstaffe, an attorney who specializes in First Amendment matters, about this raid to learn more.

Debate season is here, but the frontrunner was a no-show. Dennis reviews the proceedings but not before he talks about what is not debatable – our basic constitutional rights – and how the raid on the Marion County (KS) Record is something to be resisted with every ounce of our beings.

Home security video surfaced showing a 98-year-old Kansas woman yelling at police officers raiding her home on August 11. Joan Meyer, a co-owner of the Marion County Record newspaper, berated the officers, asking if their mothers loved them and even calling the police chief an “a**hole.” Some believe Meyer, who passed the day after the raid, died from stress.

A week after the Marion County Record had its equipment returned, the newspaper's owner and many in its community disagree on what the role of a community newspaper should be. Also, what changes at the Open Society Foundation could mean for journalism in eastern Europe; X - formerly known as Twitter - kills off more tools useful to journalist, and Meta's making moves toward releasing a Threads interface.

     The Marion County Record newspaper was raided by police a week ago by local police. There was no apparent legitimate reason for the raid, but a judge signed off on it anyway. Since the raid, major and small press outlets have cried foul, yet the damage is already done. This raid is merely the latest attack on a free press in the USA.

MARION, KANSAS finds itself making national headlines this week after local police raided the offices of the Marion County Record, which was investigating the town's new police chief. The town of 1,900 about 150 miles southwest of Kansas City is now at the center of a debate over press freedom. Some in the community believe the paper has been too aggressive and “inappropriately negative” in its coverage of local politics. The editor and publisher says the paper is just fulfilling its job as a watchdog, protecting the public's interests. This story is set against a backdrop of rising opposition to free speech in the United States. While a majority of the public claims to support the First Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech (and the press), a growing number of mainly younger people want to exclude “hate speech” from those protections. But without protection for speech that's potentially offensive, there is no freedom of speech. That said, we note that just because you can say something doesn't mean you should. Also: Biden green-lights F-16s for Ukraine while US intelligence sources admit that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed; US military wants Minority Report style prediction capability; euthanasia in Canada becoming mainstream; artificial DNA touted as cancer cure; and new Netflix animated film Monkey King that brings Buddhist mythology to American children.——————Our Build Barn Better project is making progress!

SEASON 2 EPISODE 15: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: America is NOT divided over the prosecution of Trump. The latest polling shows the citizens of this country are DECIDED - by wide margins - in favor of it. They are DECIDED - by wide margins - that he broke the law in Georgia. They are DECIDED - by wide margins - that the 2020 election was NOT stolen from him. Yet even the news company that paid for the newest polling showing these inarguable conclusions, has to fulfill its fearful, lazy, sacred obligations to the American Media Deity of Bothsidesism by taking this data and headlining it "Americans are divided along party lines over Trump's actions in election cases." No. The nation is not. The Associated Press, and other news organizations, are afraid of stating any truth that requires any assessment or evaluation or analysis or risks accusations of Liberal Bias. Bothsideism is afraid of any choice that isn't “which is bigger: A) an elephant or B) a mouse.” Bothsideism is fearful and lazy and self-interested and it is dangerous and it is in play and even those organizations that actually PRODUCE the evidence that this nation is convinced Trump has broken the law in Georgia, in Washington, in America, and that Jack Smith and Fonni Willis are RIGHT to prosecute him – even those organizations are whispering the results for fear of blowback – or worse, because blowback is TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR MANAGEMENT. That Trump acted illegally in Georgia outpolled more innocent explanations by 23 points. Support for the Jack Smith indictments outpolled opposition by 8 points. The percentage believing Trump did not have an election stolen from him is SEVENTY. There is even polling evidence that Trump not only isn't gaining Republican support because of the indictments but has lost a little.Hell, even Ted Cruz said yesterday he won't endorse Trump in the primary. But the major news organizations refuse to acknowledge any of this. Also today: the Trump Court Appearance Calendar is filling up so fast that the hearing to confirm a starting date for the January 6 trial will occur simultaneously with Mark Meadows' hearing to transfer his Georgia charges to Federal Court. There is more on the undying story of Jack Smith scraping Trump's Twitter DMs and who else had access to them. Turns out there's no way for Trump to get a pardon in Georgia until five years after his sentence ends. And we will again identify the unidentified in another edition of Trumple. B-Block (21:09) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Ron DeSantis now requires parents to sign permission slips or teachers can't call "Thomas" "Tommy." Jordan Peterson and Penguin take bad reviews and put them on the cover of his book (taking out the negative adjectives). And the judge who authorized the raid on the Marion County Record in Kansas has not only been retroactively overruled but it turns out she has a history of DUIs, one she apparently hid from the voters - and the judge who should have jailed her after the second DUI. (29:48) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Tomorrow will be the second anniversary of the day an extraordinary soul walked into my life. He was only here very briefly but I want you to meet and remember him and so I will again tell you the story of Mishu.

Journalists at the Marion County Record worked late into the night to publish their first issue since the widely criticized raid of their office by local police. Plus: Senior Kansans who want to live out their golden years in the rural towns where they grew up face the growing issue of how to get around.

   The Marion County Record was raided by cops after it was believed the paper was illegally obtaining information about private citizens.  You know how one sided this story has been, and of course, they could be right.  The police chief could be corrupt.  But it's about to be a small town tsunami as all the national media, and now, an outrageously high priced and powerful legal team in KC is on the case for this tiny little paper.  They will overwhelm even the KBI.    President Trump says he's got all the goods he needs on Fulton County, GA and the election in 2020 and will release it Monday.      Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy first went viral in Iowa for rapping a song by Eminem and now his exchange with an LGBTQ+ activist has vaulted him to an even higher level.  It's just fantastic and we'll share the deets with you.    The Chiefs lose a tight end for the year but have good news in the secondary as we get you up to date on the injury list.    And KU announces $300 million worth of projects will begin work at the end of this football season but may be creating higher expectations than they are about to deliver.  I'll explain. 

Staff at the Marion County Record rushed to complete the latest edition of the paper after police confiscated much of their equipment last week. We'll have the latest on the raid and the fight it's sparked over free speech protections. Plus: Hundreds attended a memorial service for another Kansas football player who died after practicing in the summer heat.

Journalists at the Marion County Record worked late into the night to publish their first issue since the widely-criticized raid. “SEIZED… but not silenced,” its headline read.

Journalists across the country are standing behind the publisher and staff of the Marion County Record. Police raided the Kansas newspaper last week, seizing computers, phones and reporting materials in an apparent illegal search. Also, the impact of cameras in the courtroom in covering latest indictment of Donald Trump, covering the wildfires in Hawaii and “crafting” visual journalism.

The police chief who raided a small-town newspaper was being investigated by its reporters over claims of alleged sexual misconduct. every officer in the Marion Police Department stormed into the Marion County Record's offices Friday with a search warrant and seized computers.  A petition filed by ex-NFL player Michael Oher on Monday suggested that the former first round draft pick may have known that he wasn't officially adopted before February 2023. Oher also claimed that he did not financially benefit from the movie "The Blind Side" which was based on his story, but that the Tuohy family did.   Tuesday 8/15/2023 - Hour 3See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Corinne Ramey and James Fanelli of The Wall Street Journal write, “If Trump wins the next presidential election, he could attempt to pardon himself in any federal case or steer the Justice Department to retreat from Smith's charges. In Georgia, he would lack the ability to wipe away a state conviction or prison term. Even if Trump were to seek a state pardon, he wouldn't be eligible to do so until after serving a sentence for any conviction. In Georgia, any such pardon would be determined by a state board, not the governor.” You can read their full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/georgia-case-presents-unique-challenges-for-trumpand-prosecutors-4dd6ee37 3:35pm- In a video posted to Truth Social, former president Donald Trump addressed the wildfires that have devastated Hawaii—tragically killing nearly one hundred people making it one of the deadliest wildfires in recent U.S. history. 3:45pm- Is the Georgia indictment Donald Trump's greatest legal concern yet?  4:05pm- While speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday, President Joe Biden promised that he would soon be visiting Hawaii to assess the damage caused by wildfires in Maui.

Police officers in Marion, Kansas, are under fire after raiding the newsroom of the town's local newspaper, confiscating computers, cellphones and other materials.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 12: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN THIS EPISODE WAS REVISED AT 2:25 AM EDT MONDAY 8.14.23 A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump snaps. After a weekend of taunting Judge Tanya Chutkan - and the rule of law - through surrogates, he posts online attacks against her ("highly partisan...obviously wants me behind bars") and the special counsel ("How dare lowlife prosecutor Deranged Jack Smith break into my former Twitter account without informing me" - and calls this court-authorized access an "atrocity"). These are exactly the kind of inflammatory remarks that Judge Chutkan warned him against; he had tried to get around her by having Matt Gaetz threaten violence as he stood silently next to him, and he has tried to get around it by reposting the lies and character assassinations and threats of others. He didn't even wait 24 hours to try to get around her. Any other defendant in this country would have already had their pre-trial release revoked, or had an immediate hearing scheduled. We must end the appeasement of Trump. The law - with Judge Chutkan representing it - must crush him. Trump has also repeatedly attacked Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis in advance of her probable indictments tomorrow. He is panicking. He has reason to. In addition to his other crimes, she now has emails and texts tying "The Coffee County Breach" - the hacking of voting records there - to Trump lawyers and associates.  Also: RFK Junior has self-destructed. Surprise surprise. He calls for a federal ban on abortion after 15 or 21 weeks, then denies he said such a thing; then NBC produces the transcript of him re-confirming his belief several times. Republicans continue to rage against the appointment of a Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden case after spending a year demanding the appointment of a Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden case - and getting exactly the one they all wanted. Kevin McCarthy demanded it just 34 days ago! B-Block (22:59) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: It's like something out of a Jimmy Stewart western or a '20s Chicago Mob film: the bad guys break into the small town newspaper and kill the publisher. Only it's happened for real in Kansas, and the bad guys are the town cops, and the DOJ must have the FBI arrest the lot of them - the judge who authorized it included.
