The problem as I see it, is that someone involved with a newspaper should hold any form of elected or appointed position.
Welcome to small town America, where there aren’t enough people to do all the jobs that need doing.
That should tip you off to the type of journalist they are
The arrested journalist in this story doesn’t hold any form of elected or appointed position. The newspaper’s owner is a school board member but she didn’t write the news story that’s gotten them in trouble.
Gotta stay neutral.
I don’t see anybody sending Fox News producers to prison for their failure to do that, just a journalist who published information that embarrassed the local prosecutor and his boss.
