Legislator Pushes Penalties Against False News in Maryland Hearing
In Annapolis a Maryland legislative hearing on penalties for false or inflammatory news reports drew witnesses including Del. Richard Matthews of Cambridge and Morris Blum owner of WANN WXTC. Matthews linked distorted reporting to Cambridge unrest while Blum defended a free press noting personal risks during Germany’s Nazi era and insisting six million Jews died. The debate touched on press responsibility and the balance with free speech as Roeder urged caution against restricting journalism. In Ocean City a separate note says Mayor Cropper plans a teen recreation council to curb past year rowdiness among visiting youths.
