House Republicans Order Journalists Arrested at Public Hearing.

[dixiegrrrrl]

55. "highly respected documentations" are not exactly amateurs

plus
ABC news was not allowed in either.

Congrats, tho, you managed to use at least 2 of the Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation:
specifically :

4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad.
Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation..

"But I don't see why members of the public who just want to observe their government at work should be inconvenienced because someone has an itch to make a documentary. "
Nothing in the story stated members of the public were inconvenienced by the filming
and in fact, the filming by both the documentary crew AND ABC would have made it MORE convenient for more members of the public to see "their government at work".

5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule:
" Nothing worse than a bunch of amateurs running around filming. "
(comparing experienced documentary film makers and ABC news with amateurs)

The TRUTH is that the Committee did not want media witnessing their actions, even tho it was an OPEN hearing.
The TRUTH is the Republicans in the Committee made the decision to block media.



THAT is the key issue at discussion hear.
