First They’ll Come for the Journalists
DOJ targeted WaPo reporters
First they’ll come for the journalists. They’ll toss them in jail like murder suspects, but those lying meddlers won’t be missed.
Writers, reporters and cartoonists — then atheists, leftists, and network execs — but first they’ll come for the journalists.
Science and data, officials insist, have no bearing on climate effects. Those lying reporters won’t be missed.
Physicians, teachers and scientists, their threat to this government is more complex, but first they’ll come for the journalists.
If the media’s lying, does truth exist? They’ll get ’em for treason or other pretext. Those fact-checking meddlers won’t be missed.
Now handcuffed and gagged, they no longer resist And we don’t know what happened next. First they came for the journalists Those lying meddlers won’t be missed.

It’s death by a thousand cuts — a nibble here, a bite there, here a chomp, there a chomp, everywhere a chomp-chomp.
The tide has turned, for the moment, but tides ebb and flow, and we’re not in a safe harbor yet, by any means.
