Ah - ok. I also found this about the incident:
article from New Zealand
I heard Alex Jones on Art Bell once, and Art Bell/George Noory (strangely?) don't support the theory that 'the guvamunt did it" at all. However, they do let them talk. I do think these people just feel like they want to be heard, and I wish they could be, it might even hush them up. Especially if people did answer their questions.
So during the CtC interview, they were allowed to talk, and for once they toned down the rhetoric, and then Alex Jones seemed a lot nicer. He's verbal style is so agressive normally. I don't know a thing about this particular reporter. I'd never heard of him.
My craziest psych patient often only wanted to be heard. Sometimes the ones that claimed their food was poisoned were REALLY trying to say that they saw roaches in the hospital kitchen, which I've no doubt they did.
Ok, sorry, I digress....sorta.
I can understand that he just may have wanted to be heard... but that's sort of the problem. The press is allowed in to places like this to record information, and not to start shouting out their manefesto. I really don't think the arrest had anything to do with the questions, and had 100% to do with the "reporter's" manner. Even with the most irritating paparazzi, they shut up when someone attempts to respond. The fact that this reporter didn't get that sort of destroys his credibility. Reporters who carry picket signs have a very limited context in which they can still claim any journalistic integrity. If he was covering a protest, and was protesting at the same time, I'd think that would be fair. Hiding the intention to protest to get in the door somewhere and feigning "journalism" I don't think warrants the same protection as legitimate journalists.
