  1. I suspect that sales will improve and that chief Cody will become the focus of the story – looking forward to the lawsuit.

  2. Check that drunk's party affiliation. Be sure she was registered RIGHT.

  3. A current crowd of cultists keep following the Dictator in waiting and his power hungry party leaders keep pushing fascism state to red state. This kind of police state crap started in 2016 and continues in small communities. If the fascists get to claim White House, House, and Senate these type raids to destroy political speech WILL happen. It won't just be about protecting a crooked cop abusing authority.
    And a complicit "Guilded Age" SCOTUS majority will concur with it all.
    Register, verify, verify, vote in 2024. The Bill of Rights is on the line.

  4. We don't raid newspapers in America! We are not Russia. This was a brazen and illegal raid upon the press as a whole. A blatant violation of the First Amendment. It should be a huge red flag in the minds of most. Our Democracy is well under attack. The Press is our voice, our advocate, our guardian (except for Fox News) LOL. When we lose the press, we lose our Country!

  5. Try journalism in a small town. – Jason Aldean

  6. My father fought and ultimately was willing to die for the right to broadcast the truth against a communist regime back in '84…to see this now in '03 gives me that more motivation in advocating the freedom of free press!!

  7. I gotta wonder how many of those in the comment section talking about "rights" dutifully got vaccinated and "boosted" because the government told them to 🤨

  8. domestic terrorist uniform

  9. We talk about the cops in the wrong and yes they absolutely are! Yet the steel ink in the heavy pens used by corrupt courts all across our country is the issue that needs to really be addressed. The courts and its officers are not taking enough blame here. Chief Judge Susan Robson who is also a Marion resident should have stopped this from happening. This is her town in her district and she allows a fraudulent affidavit with such weight to be dispersed on her watch, her and her minions must answer. Disbarment and criminal charges!!!

  10. A free piece of information for my from A It . Always back up your data off site. And have a strategy in place for disasters like this. Drop the Mic.

  11. Local R politician had a DUI. Reporters came to their rally w/ questions. Local Police Chief RICOs w/ politician, harrasses newspaper. 98yr oldmother of Editor died of heartattack right after police raid. 1st+4th amendment crimes by police+politician.

  12. I feel like subscribing just to support them.

  13. This county has a high delinquent property tax rate.. better make people pay up… that lawsuit is going cost you…😮😮😮

  14. Do vat you are told!! Welcome to Germany 1930's

  15. So no federal govt stepping in? Freedom of press is a right under federal, not state, doesn't matter which party you're on or you're supporting, if you're not against this, you're just 1 step closer to becoming a regime.

  16. Does he support cop city?
    Does he support freeing Assange?

  17. FYI cops, you definitely have a place in DC when you lose your jobs. Joe's kind of people!

  18. Same thing happens with the California Highway Patrol. Totally unreliable and tend to avoid their job. If you don't think so, just come to Napa Valley and watch the worst of the worst drivers. No CHP ever in sight pulled over giving a ticket.

  19. Sounds like a good ol' boy with some cop connections got caught. Cops, why do you think you're above the law?

  20. Eric Meyers was one of my journalism professors back in college at the Univ. of IL…..it seems like those police violated his Constitutional Rights; my condolences to his Mom.

  21. So an FBI raid on a former president is okay, but a police raid on a news organization is a constitutional crisis?

  22. To all of you "journalists" you like to be the mouthpiece for the Socialists/Communists and other tyrants. 100% of the time in all cases once the tyrants feel strong enough and no longer need you, you will be the enemy of the state. How does that sting feel.

  23. America is a police state

  24. You just can't bow down to cowards or you're going to continue to get the same abusive corrupted evil nonsense! Stand your ground with your head held high and never EVER back down to the devil! Do not support bad people, no matter who they are, how much money they have, or the "power" they think they have. Fear God NOT man!

  25. Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore…..we're in Moscow

  26. Democrats and their gestapo tactics are out of hand.

  27. Marion county please go buy this news paper.

  28. Last I heard they knew the search warrant was going to be executed, and when, which means this was not a raid, but hey, why bother with accuracy? All media people know that truth does not sell.

  29. Demonic COWARDLY PIGS trying to bully the innocent and keep the truth of their bias actions and favoritism from being made public……WHAT A BUNCH OF PUNKS!

  30. Wow… Living in a police state… Bill of Rights means nothing?

  31. Cops have too much power, change my mind

  32. Wow! We live in a banana republic! All that "free country" crap is a myth! We were lied to!

  33. All pigs are crooked. America sucks.

  34. Welcome to Klansas.
