Special Report SPECIAL REPORT April 20, 2020 • $3.95 www.TheNewAmerican.com THAT FREEDOM SHALL NOT PERISH What does “family owned & operated” really mean? For the Clark family, it means getting up early for 45 years to work in their own community, and choosing to invest in the Inland Empire. In a time when Wall Street is trying to run Main Street, Clark’s Nutrition still believes that family owned and operated businesses are the backbone of the American dream, and feels privileged to help families live healthier and happier lives.

As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

After hitting our New Hampshire Investment Strategy goal—thanks to your help!—Bennet for America launched a new television ad in New Hampshire to demonstrate why Michael is the best ​ candidate to beat Donald Trump and move the country forward.

Please take a look and then share the ad far and wide! Last week, Michael picked up two new endorsements from prominent Granite Staters, New ​ ​ Hampshire State Representative and Assistant Majority Floor Leader Michael Cahill and Bow Selectman Harry Judd!

CNN is owned by parent company Time Warner, and the U.S. news network is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System.[5] CNN is sometimes referred to as CNN/U.S. to distinguish the North American channel from its international counterpart, CNN International. As of June 2008, CNN is available in over 93 million U.S. households.[6] Broadcast coverage extends to over 890,000 American hotel rooms,[6] and the U.S broadcast is also shown in Canada. Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories.[7] In terms of regular viewers (Nielsen ratings), CNN rates as the United States' number two cable news network and has the most unique viewers (Nielsen Cume Ratings).[8] History Early history CNN's first broadcast with David Walkerand Lois Hart on June 1, 1980.

  • Special Report: Journalists Face Arrests, Attacks, and Threats by Police Amidst Protests Over the Death of George Floyd N May 2020, Protests in Minneapolis, Minn
    A PUBLICATION OF THE SILHA CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF MEDIA ETHICS AND LAW | WINTER/SPRING 2020 A Message from the Director This issue of the Silha Bulletin, produced by our graduate student research assistants, includes a special roundup examining how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected newsgathering and reporting. But as if our world has not been rocked enough by COVID-19, the civil unrest in the Twin Cities following the death of George Floyd on May 25 prompted us to pivot just as we were wrapping up this issue of the Bulletin. Please visit our website to see our running list of clashes between the press and law enforcement. Our website is available at: https://hsjmc.umn.edu/news/2020-06-02-list-incidents-involving-police-and-journalists-during-civil-unrest-minneapolis-mn. We haven’t neglected our usual analysis of significant media law and media ethics developments from around the country. We’ve continued to provide timely research assistance and commentary on issues affecting freedom of the press and the public’s right to know. Elaine Hargrove, Silha Program Assistant, has almost completed a massive migration of Silha Center content — including past issues of the Bulletin, research materials, and photographs and recordings of many Silha events — to our new web site: https://hsjmc. umn.edu/research-centers/centers/silha-center-study-media-ethics-and-law. Silha Center programming and outreach also continue. On June 3, we participated in the first of a series of Town Hall webinars hosted by the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication examining legal and ethical issues surrounding reporting on the civil unrest in the Twin Cities.
