"District 14 citizens were asked to register for the event and submit questions for Greene ahead of time"
Nothing like a little controlled event, eh?
"Greene's office invited the media to the event, including Channel 3's crew which had credentials to attend. Once on property, members of the media were told they would not be permitted to speak to anyone attending or ask any questions."
That's every kind of bullshit.
"Channel 3's reporter attempted to ask a question of Greene about the posts and the resolution to expel her from the House, but Greene said she was there to talk to her constituents."
"That's when a member of Greene's staff approached Channel 3's reporter and told her to leave the event. Greene's staff waived over a deputy who escorted Channel 3's reporter and photographer out of the building."
"The Channel 3 crew informed the deputy that they were invited to the public event and also had credentials to be there. The deputy threatened to arrest the crew and charge them with criminal trespassing if they did not leave the property."
"Channel 3 is working to get answers from the Whitfield County Sheriff's Office about the incident that took place."
"A spokesperson for Greene's office reached out to Channel 3 following the incident and said the reporter was removed because the event "was not a press conference" and she was not approved to ask questions. The spokesperson, who called from Washington, D.C., said the reporter caused a "disruption" by asking her question."
********
Yeah reporters are taught in school to ask questions no matter what.
Yeah editors are former reporters.
Yeah execs are former editors.
And so they get exploited like this. In my opinion there's no "high road" of integrity present by placing yourself into a victim's position. If you know you won't be allowed to do your job, have the temerity to walk away. Have a supervisor that supports this. Allow "the competition" to maybe-possibly get the scoop instead. Be willing to blink first if it means sedition isn't given oxygen.
As wrong as Greene is, local media is helping her. We NEED more sunshine aimed at the cockroaches. They have a remarkable way of scattering. I'm not convinced this does that.
