Thanks to Robert Lilligren and Dean Zimmerman for standing up for a free and independent press at Whittier Alliance's neighborhood meeting October 10. A foolish, and shortsighted policy, barring recording devices would have prevented KFAI Radio from effectively covering a candidate forum in a contested ward race at an organization that has received millions in NRP funds.
I'd love to find out why the Minneapolis City Attorney's office is informing on bad policies like these -- since when does an office of city government, or any part of American government, have the authority to determine the tools journalists use?
