WATCH: Someone called to buy a year-long subscription to Marion County Record. This has happened a lot since the raid. But, the special request this person made is a first! You 💯 percent want to watch. 👇

🚨New: Meta rejects its Oversight Board’s recommendation to suspend the account of former Cambodian PM Hun Sen after he used his accounts to incite violence.
Once again Facebook renders its Oversight Board meaningless as the recommendation was non-binding

NEW: Steve Leben, former judge, calls Chief Gideon Cody’s affidavits “weak.”
BUT, GET THIS: Leben points out the Marion police chief never disclosed the dispute he had with the paper when seeking the warrant to raid the newsroom. @KSHB41

JUST IN: I’ve obtained video of the police raid from inside Joan Meyer’s home, co-publisher of Marion County Record. Meyer is visibly upset with police and is using a walker as she yells, “this is my home.”

Surveillance video showed a reporter at Marion County Record being read her Miranda rights. I asked Eric Meyer, the paper’s owner about it.
“It’s inconceivable of a journalist being read their Miranda rights for doing their job.”

This is so quintessentially Meyer. This image has transported me to the mid-1990s and I have just pulled an all-nighter in the basement of Greg Hall
Eric Meyer, publisher of Marion County Record, says he’ll be here all night. We’ve been here all day and he’s done non-stop interviews while also trying to get something published this week. Much needed break for Meyer. @KSHB41
