Is it a crime to report something factual? If untrue that causes for punishment.

Not t all. But did you watch his broadcast out side the Temple Trees that night. He was inciting violence. He wanted to see it burning down. I didnot expect it from a journalist like him. That was an appauling act. He should be brought to justice for that. But on other videos he was very good pointing out fraud and corruption among ppoliticians
