It is indeed less than ideal whenever the majority party applies procedural rules unevenly. Once, at a Senate EPW hearing, a majority party staffer told me to stop distributing press releases at the media table. After I ignored her, she got a policeman. The whole affair made me angry.

The story you write is very different from Amy Goodmans Radio Show coverage on Demoracy Now. She aired the testimony from residents of Pavilion who are now receiving trucked in drinking water, from rhe Canadian based Co. who owns the local wells in the area. Foxs freedom to film a public meeting is just that, hence, be careful your freedom to print what you write may be in jeopardy if you're not careful with your pros, good luck, because we all may need it...

Even slime like Fox.Or is this some new definition of open government or freedom of information?Thanks JK “Fox was precluded from filming the hearing because he did not have the necessary press credentials.”

Since when does a citizen need permission to video an open meeting? Even slime like Fox.

Or is this some new definition of open government or freedom of information?

Thanks
