Interview With Jailed Video Blogger Josh Wolf

Posted by kdawson on from the alarm-clock dept.

Video blogger and independent journalist Josh Wolf has been in a federal jail for 170 days for refusing to turn over to a federal grand jury a video of a San Francisco demonstration. On Feb. 6 Wolf's length of incarceration set a new record for US journalism. "Democracy Now!" has an interview with Josh Wolf from his jail cell. If federal authorities can jail bloggers with impunity, it does not bode well for the future of citizen journalism.

    From TFS:

    If federal authorities can jail bloggers with impunity, it does not bode well for the future of citizen journalism.

    Many of you resent the white males that drafted your bill of rights; now that you're replacing them by slaves and tyrants, don't complain when your liberty falls by the same stroke.

    Government sans tyranny is masculine and congenitally European—two necessary but insufficient conditions for liberty.

    Personally, I want the USA disarmed. I'd support my country participating in a multi-national military action to see that achieved.
