During the last 6 years of the Deepwater Horizon litigation with BP television producers have repeatedly told us that they cannot air these stories. TPTB will not allow a big advertiser to look bad. We must bust up the media oligarchy!

She was arrested at the 2008 RNC in St. Paul and had her press credentials stripped.

Everyone in North Dakota should be looking at this Governor and have him arrested, lets be clear there was a 1990 ACT that was violated, and some how the federal judge said that this was not a problem, and provided cover for whole shebang, up there in ND, and still not one word from Heitkamp, and the congressional delegation, not one, that speak volumes

Not once did this Governor say or do anything about that ACT to protect those sacred sites, and if the energy corporation was going to bull doze his family graves, what would he be say? Instead he called out the state militia, and so now he and the energy company goons want to go after a journalist for doing her job, it is not going to happen governor, we have her back, its called the U.S. Constitution, or did you forget that document, or his Manifest Destiny and the Doctrine of Discovery more importunate in your lexicon?
