Transparency

TRANSPARENCY! Democrats block amendment to ensure press access to oil spill. “Media outlets such as The New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review, and NPR have written damning reports of the government’s unreasonable attempts to limit access to the spill. The New Orleans Times-Picayune was prohibited from flying a plane over the spill so a photographer could get pictures. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., was denied permission to take a boat out to the spill with reporters and examine the catastrophe affecting his state. The Associated Press sent a letter of protest with the White House over the arbitrary restrictions. A CBS camera crew was threatened with arrest for trying to report from a beach affected by the spill.” Duh. That’s because there is no oil spill. It’s all a cover story to keep people away from the crashed alien spaceship. Wake up, sheeple!
