Dear Friend,
Jailing journalists is unacceptable in a democracy. But that's exactly
what is happening at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul,
Minnesota.
Award winning journalist and host of "Democracy Now" Amy Goodman was
arrested by St. Paul police while covering a protest outside the
Republican National Convention. Though clearly identified as press,
Goodman was charged with "obstruction of a legal process and
interference
with a 'peace officer.'" Two of her producers were arrested for
"suspicion
of felony riot."
To tell you that this arrest was brutal and upsetting simply doesn't
do it
justice. Watch this video

to see for yourself. Then take action.
I just e-mailed the presidents of CNN and NBC News (which oversees
MSNBC)
to demand that their networks cover this important story. I hope you
will
too.
Please have a look and take action.

My message to heads of CNN and NBC:
This isn't China -- IS IT?????
PS -- This is why I have come to rely on Internet sources primarily,
instead of TV "News" and "News"paper reports. You folks are losing
share because you're NOT reporting things people feel they are
entitled to have. Detroit's now learning this lesson, even as we learn
to tune in to BBC...
Thanks! Rick Mitchell
