Thanks for this link to the story about the arrests of working journalists that violate laws protecting them. This story also has addresses to contact officials which I appreciate.

Watching the video of Amy Goodman's arrest and the interviews with her producers this morning sent shivers up my spine. So reminiscent of the 60's and 70's. I hope anyone reading this comment takes the time to read this and related articles to see what is happening to journalists that are attempting to report actual news and not a sanitized version of it.
