- So-called free-speech organizations have been silent about a recent appeal to the Department of Justice to hound and prosecute reporters who expose irreversible medical treatments on minors.
- That demand to “investigate and prosecute” journalists, made in a letter Attorney General Merrick Garland, came from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and the Children’s Hospital Association.
- Journalist Christopher Rufo, who has been a leader in reporting on transgender issues, said leftists made a “strategic mistake in calling for the DOJ to prosecute journalists who oppose radical gender surgeries for minors. Conservatives should frame this as government suppression.”
