On Friday evening, viewers watched as CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez and his crew were arrested on live television while covering a protest following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

From Los Angeles to Minneapolis to New York, what seemed like isolated attacks on the press at political rallies and protests over the last few years intensified as trust in media is near a decade low, some media experts said. Freedom of speech and the press are enshrined, among other freedoms, in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Vittert recalled how the public perception of the media similarly deteriorated during his time covering the Middle East. “We saw that transition happen where those who we reported on went from being glad we were there to tell our stories to viewing us as potential targets,” he said. “And now we’re seeing that same shift in America which is terrifying.
Some Trump supporters in the past have played down the backlash against the media and the president’s role in it, saying the media had eroded its own credibility with partisan reporting. The governor of Minnesota apologized for the arrest of CNN’s journalists and the Louisville police department apologized if Rust was singled out for being a reporter. No actions have been taken so far against the officers involved.
