See, That's How You Do It

by Mark Adams

Oppression of free speech CNN style:

A CNN reporter was thrown out of the welcoming ceremony after he shouted a question about whether Hu had seen the protesters gathered on the city green, school officials said. Yale spokeswoman Helene Kalsky said the reporter was thrown out because he was invited "to cover an event, not to hold a press conference."
When you ask questions, you just get thrown out of the party, not thrown in jail.

Of course it helps to be one of the regulars in the White House Press Pool and not somebody on a Gluckert day pass. Like I said before, it also is important to put your protest in the form of a question. That's always bound to confuse the secret service.
