Commentary: Don't Give the Predatory Left a Single Inch on SCOTUS 'Reforms'

Samuel Alito's Supreme Court scandal might be the final straw for Democrats

The US-based Wall Street Journal (WSJ) fired automobile and energy reporter Selina Cheng on Wednesday, coming after she was elected the head of the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) on June 22.

Following her termination, Cheng claimed her WSJ editor requested she withdraw herself from the HKJA leadership race because it would be "incompatible with her job."

She further claimed her editor told her that the WSJ "should not be seen as advocating for press freedom in a place like Hong Kong, even though they can in Western countries, where it is already established."

The WSJ's publisher, Dow Jones, said it doesn't comment on personnel issues but that the Journal "has been and continues to be a fierce and vocal advocate for press freedom in Hong Kong and around the world." Cheng said the official reason she was told was corporate restructuring.

Recent surveys show that 70% of Hong Kong journalists, some of whom have been put in jail, censor themselves due to pressure from the city's pro-China politicians. Cheng claims her firing is hypocritical given the WSJ's public support for its journalist Evan Gershkovich, who is in jail in Russia.
