Apparently, “Liberty” is just a name for the small, conservative college run by Jerry Falwell Jr. in Lynchburg, Virginia — not any kind of statement of its values. At least, that’s what the school’s latest stunt suggests.
Falwell is actively seeking to throw two reporters in jail: The university’s police department issued arrest warrants for trespassing against two journalists whose coverage Falwell disliked. Specifically, he didn’t like how they reported on his decision to endanger students by partially reopening Liberty’s campus amid a pandemic. This is an apparent attack on press freedom and just the latest addition to Falwell’s long record of hypocrisy.
