Legal Schnauzer: Legal Schnauzer First Amendment Case Featured in a Special Report on CBS Channel 42 News
 This is Carol, Roger's wife. CBS Channel 42 News, a local television news station serving the Birmingham Metro area, highlighted the Legal Schnauzer first amendment case in a special report featured during their 6 p.m. broadcast Nov. 12. The video segment was more than 4 minutes in length and is currently posted on the news station's website entitled "Jailed Blogger in Court" by Mike McClanahan.
Are Media MIA in Bloggers's Beating Arrest?
News coverage continued this week in erratic fashion regarding the Oct. 23 arrest and continued jailing of Alabama political commentator Roger Shuler, a longtime journalist and muckraking blogger.
A few news outlets covered as an important story Shuler's ongoing jailing without bond on contempt of court charges. A few others provided brief reports. Most simply ignored the jailing of a journalist for violating court orders that themselves appear to violate decades of clear-cut constitutional law banning prior restraint of the media from reporting.
