The former get favors from Trump and his regime, while the latter get insults and both personal and professional punishment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68687\" target=\"_blank\">HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/01\/30\/politics\/don-lemon-custody\" target=\"_blank\">CNN reported<\/a><\/strong> that Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Justice&#8221;<\/em> Department had arrested Don Lemon on charges of interfering with worshipers at a church service in Minneapolis. The charges stem from Lemon&#8217;s coverage of a protest at the church where the pastor was also an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.<\/p>\n<p>Lemon&#8217;s presence at the protest was purely as a journalist. But the DoJ asserts &#8211; without evidence &#8211; that he was a conspirator in an effort to disrupt the church&#8217;s proceedings. Despite all available evidence, including video of Lemon&#8217;s reporting, Trump&#8217;s Attorney General <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/coming-pam-bondi-threatens-anyone-181234575.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a><\/strong> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At my direction, early this morning, federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It will be interesting to see what proof Bondi has that Lemon had participated in an <em>&#8220;attack&#8221;<\/em> that he <em>&#8220;coordinated&#8221;<\/em> with other protesters. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/donlemonofficial.bsky.social\/post\/3mcq4j4jsqk27\" target=\"_blank\">Video of his reporting<\/a><\/strong> contradicts Bondi&#8217;s account. Just as video of the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti contradicted the DoJ&#8217;s account of those atrocities.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bondi was just getting warmed up. Later that morning she posted a message on Twitter\/X that was plainly intended to squelch any dissenting views from the free press. In the sinister voice of a bad Bond villain, Bondi scowled&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Make no mistake, under President Trump\u2019s leadership and this administration, you have the right to worship freely and safely.
