The first amendment is under serious attack following an incident that took place at the GOP presidential debates up here in New Hampshire. Matt Lepacek a member of the activist/alternative media group We Are Change was arrested for simply attempting to question Rudy Giuliani about different issues including the fact that he previously lied to the We Are Change group about his involvement in the events of 9/11. This event shows that we no longer have freedom of speech or freedom of press in this country.

I want more info. This is quite outrageous if true.

This article has a bit more detail about who was arrested. From watching the lower video, it didn't seem like they were so much interested in asking Guiliani questions as much as they were in yelling at him for his "foreknowledge" and "family dumping." They're not acting as information gatherers. They're about shouting their preconception. He answered their question, they might not have liked the completeness of the answer, but he is under no obligation to acknowledge them at all. These days the activist/press role is getting a bit blurry, but I think these guys fall more on the activist side of that line.
