At approx. 5 pm Friday evening, Nov. 21, Democracy Now! producers Ana Nogueira and Jeremy Scahill were reporting on the arrest of approximately 20 people who were in Miami to oppose the Free Trade Area of the Americas.

Nogueira and Scahill had their press credentials clearly visible. Nogueira was videotaping the arrests. At the time of this writing, Nogueira was being held, handcuffed, in a Miami Police patrol wagon. Jeremy Scahill has learned that there will be a mandatory overnight detention. According to Scahill, his efforts to alert the police that they had arrested a journalist were met with the reply, “It doesn’t matter if she’s a journalist – she shouldn’t have been there.”

CALL NOW and demand that the Mayors of Miami City and Miami-Dade County restrain their police from further violence and violation of constitutional rights. RELEASE Democracy Now! journalist Ana Noguira IMMEDIATELY.

This is info. I received from the DM email digest.

imc journalists constantly get arrested. that is nothing new. what is new is when DM producers get arrested. jeremy and anna are good people and good reporters, but there is something strange about the attention being given them at what appears to be the expense of other activsts and IMCistas.

support ALL who were arrested. no special treatment for DM producers and reporters. call on behalf of all of those illegally detained.

"If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased down the streets and lynched."

George Bush, cited in the June, 1992 Sarah McClendon Newsletter

2- James Warburg, son of Council on Foreign Relations founder Paul Warburg, and a member of FDR's "brain trust," testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17, 1950, "We shall have world government whether or not you like it--by conquest or consent."

3- Walter Wriston, formerly Chairman of Citibank with his prophetic, 1986 book, "Risk and Other Four Letter Words". He says that in a world of global finance, global communications and global transport there is no longer any national sovereignty and that the age of one World is here... like it or not.

Because they're not journalists.

Journalists don't inject themselves into the story.

Journalists don't push their personal agendas.

Journalists don't hypenate their job title with "-activist".

Journalists don't do stupid stuff to get themselves arrested.

You last delirium, son ?

...but you're certainly a mother.

So I guess Bill Oriley and andbody else on talk radio or fox news are no journalist either

O'Reilly would rather his fans not know about his own sycophantic Hollywood past.

After having been a reporter for ABC and CBS News, O'Reilly opted for the Hollywood route, becoming the co-anchor of the tabloid program Inside Edition.

From 1989 to 1995, O'Reilly fawned all over those nasty Hollywood lefties he now pretends to despise. There was O'Reilly, at his phony best, covering such Hollywood lefties as Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, and Ed Asner.

Imagine O'Reilly working the phones in 1993 to get that big exclusive interview with the liberal environmental activist Ted Danson to ask him about the final episode of Cheers. "Hi Ted, it's Bill O'Reilly from Inside Edition. I know you're busy trying to save the oceans and all that stuff, but do you have time to come on my program to talk about doing the last Cheers? I'd be so ever grateful."

Right O'Reilly, grateful until you get your own political platform to beat up on environmentalists like Danson.

Having made his career, courtesy of left-wing Hollywood, O'Reilly was plucked from Los Angeles by Roger Ailes, who had just taken over the helm at Fox News after having blown it ratings-wise with Limbaugh's ill-fated TV program.

A few months ago, I had a discussion with one of O'Reilly's Fox producers. She asked me what I would want to talk to O'Reilly about if I went on his program. I said, "That's easy, let's talk about Hollywood making O'Reilly's career and how he now rants and raves about Hollywood's lack of patriotism." Never heard anything back.

What a surprise! It seems O'Reilly is better at dishing out criticism than taking it.

No spin? Really O'Reilly! O'Reilly - phony number two.

is clear that some of the FOX wackos, like Bill O'Reilly, a particularly vile character, are simply being given free rein to vent their lunacy.

Shut up.

Shut Up.

SHUT UP!!

I think the problem with Amy Goodman is her image. If she colored her hair, shaved her pits once in a while, and for god sake get a make-up person on the set maybe she could be taken seriously.

I find that quite pleasing in a woman, better than stubble, IMHO.

I don't like the box to be too hairy though, just a nice trim on the quim is fine with me.
