Journalist Audrey Hudson grabbed files from the shelf behind her and set them on her desk. The chaos of boxes stacked on the white rug in her home office was a reminder of the pre-dawn raid by armed state and federal investigators nearly three months ago.
On Wednesday’s season finale episode of TheBlaze TV’s For The Record (8:30 p.m. ET), we expose the government’s post-9/11 war on journalists in “The Silencer.”
TheBlaze visited Hudson’s home where she was still reeling from the events of Aug. 6, when officers stormed her home in Shady Side, Md., guns drawn. Her private notes — sacred to any reporter — with information about confidential sources and her thoughts and constructs of her investigations into failures at the Federal Air Marshal Service were confiscated by a Department of Homeland Security employee who accompanied police.

ReplyDeleteJefferson and Madison held freedom of the press in the highest regard. Why? Because a free and unfettered press was the best way to keep America informed and politicians in check.... ESPECIALLY, the part about politicians. Now, today's politicains keep the press in check. Keep cheering, you lemmings.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the press can lose wars for us 9:22. Lost wars=lost lives. The press does not need to know and disclose everything. If you don't believe it go talk to families of those who have died because the press disclosed crucial information.
DeleteYeah the reporters tell the truth how wonderful Obama is too. You people are ate up.
ReplyDeleteThis is home invasion, period. Stamp act mentality, and something to be ADDRESSED, not "looked at".
ReplyDeleteWe cannot sit back and let out neighbors be subject to that.
Meet with your neighbors, find out what trade they are in, and whether they are armed. Have monthly meetings of the neighborhood. Be aware so when the thugs come down on a neighbor, the neighbors have knowledge.
