SAG-AFTRA is protesting Saturday’s arrest of Kpcc reporter Josie Huang while she was covering the arrest of a protester outside St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, where two LA County Sheriff’s deputies were being treated after being shot in their squad car by an as yet unidentified assailant.
Huang, a member of the union, “was visibly credentialed as a working journalist and verbally identified herself as a member of the press,” the union said. “She had done nothing to warrant questioning. This is another deeply troubling interaction in a string of police arrests and often violent attacks on working journalists who are abiding by the law and simply trying to do their jobs.”
SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris said, “These unconstitutional attacks on the rights of a free press are appalling and must stop now. SAG-AFTRA champions the U. S. Constitution and the work of our journalist members, whose...

President Donald Trump praised Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for testy remarks to NPR host and reporter Mary Louise Kelly, telling him, “I think you did a good job on her, actually.”
At a White House ceremony with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump noted the presence of Pompeo and said, “That was very impressive. That reporter couldn’t have done too good a job on you yesterday. I think you did a good job on her, actually.”
Most reporters took Trump’s comment as having to do with NPR host Mary Louise Kelly’s interview with Pompeo on Friday, not Monday. Pompeo abruptly ended that interview as Kelly pressed him on when he specifically defended Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who was recalled from her post last spring.
After the interview ended, Kelly said, he glared at her for a moment and left the room. One...

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday accused NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly of violating “basic rules of journalism and decency” regarding a contentious interview and its aftermath.
On Friday, Pompeo abruptly ended his interview with Kelly after she pressed him on why he had not specifically defended former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who was recalled from her post last spring. “I’ve defended every single person on this team,” Pompeo said.
In a statement issued via the State Department on Saturday, Pompeo said, “NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly lied to me, twice. First, last month, in setting up our interview and, then again yesterday, in agreeing to have our post-interview conversation off the record. It is shameful that this reporter chose to violate the basic rules of journalism and decency.”
After the interview ended, Kelly said that she thanked Pompeo, and he glared at her before leaving the room.
