Topic: Melissa Click

Former University of Missouri professor Melissa Click appeared on CBS This Morning to address the viral video where she called for "some muscle" to remove a student journalist. Click claimed she was protecting protesters and was confused because the journalist did not have a "professional-sized" camera. Her explanation is widely mocked as a failure to understand modern journalism and the First Amendment, especially coming from a faculty member in a journalism department.

The events at the University of Missouri (Mizzou) are deconstructed, specifically the video of communications professor Melissa Click calling for "muscle" to remove a student journalist from a public protest area. The hosts highlight the irony of a media professor suppressing the press and discuss the university police department's request for students to report "hateful or hurtful speech."
