In wicked evil communist north korea, papers that are critical of a local small business kulak get raided by the police as punishment for speaking truth to power 
What has remained unreported until now is that, prior to the raids, the newspaper had been actively investigating Gideon Cody, Chief of Police for the city of Marion. They’d received multiple tips alleging he’d retired from his previous job to avoid demotion and punishment over alleged sexual misconduct charges.
I feel so free! 
Nothing to see here folks, this is just an investment in democracy!
Makes sense. I love democracy 
I'm glad news orgs are out there writing strongly worded letters, so i don't have to.
The Newspaper is gonna take them to court but like, the fact that the raid can happen and the only recourse is after the fact, potentially years later, is a joke
It’s a good thing this sort of only happens in [red state]! Nothing like this could possibly happen in my amazing beautiful perfect [blue state], right? Right??? It’s not as though the local community family green independent nonprofit newspapers are all just glorified advertising bundles for real estate agencies and car dealerships, right??? Not in my precious community, not here, it never could possibly be!!!!
In Communist China etc. etc.
