Pay attention people! Bloomberg energy reporter detained for attempting to ask question. This is going to get worse -- especially related to the fascist environmental movement. #transparency RT @AriNatter: I am being detained by Capital Police for trying to ask @EPAGina a question after her remarks. @alexcguillen: Not the first time I have been threatened with arrest for doing my job as a reporter. Probably not the last either. We have plummeted to 46th in international rankings in press freedoms, for a reason. Remember what veteran New York Times reporter James Risen said last Friday: [The Obama administration is] the greatest enemy of press freedom that we have encountered in at least a generation. [The administration wants to] narrow the field of national security reporting to create a path for accepted reporting. [Anyone journalist who exceeds those parameters] will be punished. [The administration’s aggressive prosecutions have created] a de facto Official Secrets Act. ” Scary stuff.
