***Liberty News Network Broadcast***
Good morning. This is Diane Woodruff reporting for LNN. I am standing across the street from what appears to be a mob of protestors in front of Liberty Cathedral. The street is full of about 1,000 protestors burning Vitalinian flags and effigies of government officials.
When LNN interviewed the organizers of the protest, the leaders allegedly stated that the protest was a group of expats from the nation of S8in in response to a cartoon published by the Liberty Torch, a highly influential newspaper that depicted Ron, the Unholy ruler of S8in wearing a nuclear warhead as a hat while performing what is known as the "Cleveland Steamer" on a woman with the caption "Democracy in action in the sovereign nation of S8in" underneath the cartoon.
Apparently, it is a great offense to depict Ron in such a highly denigrating fashion among the people of S8in. The protestors are calling upon the government to issue an apology to the people of S8in. However, the government has issued a statement saying it will not apologize on behalf of a privately-run newspaper citing freedom of expression and freedom of the press.
We shall continue to report as the situation unfolds.
