The Freedom of Press Threatened

By Daniel J. Neumann

 

The government has

Demonstrated tyranny

By abusing the

First amendment, the freedom

Of Press, by seizing records.

 

Justice Department,

Why did you take months of

Telephone records?

 

Did you want to know

Who the whistleblowers were?

Isn’t that a crime?

How can Journalists

Do their job of reporting

With this happening?

Anonymity

Ensures sources be heard

That the state keeps quiet.

We need a free press

For accountability.

Are you wary of

Cover-ups yet? You should be.

Is this still America?
