Hmm interesting

yesterday we covered the ALEC event in town (and the massive demonstration)

We applied for credentialing at the event. They do not take bloggers, but we are credentialed media, a for profit paper.

From the coverage from other stations I suspect ALEC did not credential a few others, in this case corporate media. We saw some of the people who were credentialed to cover the convention... one is from a local RW blog, yeah I know the irony drips. So this is how you create a bubble

That is ok. I quoted Dolores Huerta calling ALEC a fascist organization.

The rest of the media stuck to the at most 1000 demonstrators, they missed their cue by at least 2500.

And lord knows my shoulders are extremely sore at this moment. It is the 60 pound pack. I need to get out of it a few party flavors that we took just in case the cops went to town...

...it's good to be back on DU, its even better to see your back on!



About ALEC and press access; was the RW blog you mentioned VOSD?

I'm curious who was granted the golden ticket here to push ALECs propaganda.
