Trying to prosecute journalists for doing their job is an obscene waste of taxpayer dollars.
Despite a lousy track record here, our last Los Angeles City Attorney admitted it's NOT "in the interest of justice" to prosecute press.

Prosecutors must drop charges against two Cincinnati journalists arrested while covering a protest. Their jury trials are scheduled in just a couple weeks.
A coalition of rights groups and journalism professors explained why this prosecution is so dangerous.

When gov targets the press, it’s not just an attack on reporters—it’s a violation of the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.
