New Orleans judge files criminal case against CBS affiliate over reporting
Original: New Orleans judge files criminal case against CBS affiliate over reporting https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/
A New Orleans judge has filed a criminal case against a local CBS affiliate over its reporting, according to the Guardian. The move raises press freedom concerns, as criminal referrals against news outlets over coverage are rare in the United States, and the case is likely to draw scrutiny over judicial power and media accountability.
Why now: A judge pursuing criminal action against a TV station over its news coverage is an unusual and provocative escalation with press freedom implications.
