Montgomery County’s Hypocrisy on Press Freedom
Montgomery County Council’s denial of press access to The Montgonion, a satirical news outlet, raises significant First Amendment concerns. Citing outdated journalism guidelines, the Council risks unconstitutional censorship. Satire is an important aspect of journalism, and silencing it undermines accountability. The community demands restoration of press access and greater inclusivity.
