Arrest that reporter for attempting to commit blatant act of flagrant journalism!
The Washington Free Beacon today carried a report from Adam Kredo about the State Department removing him from a briefing on the Iran nuclear talks in Vienna, Austria. He was even threatened with arrest by security. Here is how the State Department of "most transparent administration in history" dealt with Kredo:
VIENNA—Officials with the Department of State threatened to call security Monday on a Washington Free Beacon reporter who was attempting to report on a briefing held by senior Obama administration figures in Vienna on the eve of an expected nuclear agreement with Iran.
Two State Department officials booted the Free Beacon from a room where Wendy Sherman, the undersecretary of state for political affairs, was talking to reporters, despite the Free Beacon’s being credentialed by the Austrian government for the ongoing Iranian nuclear talks.
...Melissa Turley, a State Department official, approached a Free Beacon reporter and demanded that he leave the room.
“You’re not registered with the U.S. press,” Turley said after being informed that the Free Beacon was attending the event.
“You have a press pass from the [European Union], not from me,” Turley said, after being informed that the Free Beacon was officially credentialed to cover the event.
Turley and her colleagues then threatened the reporter, instructing him to leave the room or be dealt with by “security.”
...“The State Dept-hosted background briefings are for reporters traveling with Secretary Kerry and those who are members of the State Dept Press Corps, who are from outlets credentialed to attend the daily press briefings in Washington, D.C.,” Turley said in an email.
So only properly vetted "journalists" need apply. Meanwhile no word yet if the other reporters in Vienna will protest Kredo's removal. Hello AP? Hello UPI? Hello Reuters?
The new TRANSPARENCY is sharing Treaties with the Enemy
and keeping the Content from the American People.
Why?
For the Moslem Brotherhood. For ISIS. For al Qaeda.
and for their undocumented helpers in the White Mosque.

He needed to ask the standard questions from the White House “press” corps, such as “What makes people in the Administration so wonderful?” “Is it true that some of the staff actually sneak a cigarette every now and then?” “How do you tolerate the unfounded extremist criticism of the 20 or so genuine Republicans in the House of Representatives?”
Stalin much?
Geez...
Never throw out free bacon.
Washington Free Bacon thrown out. What do you expect in a conference full of muslims.
That’s a photo of Wendy Sherman, the lead negotiator who Clinton also used to give away the store to North Korea.
Turley is younger:
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Prolly just a mistake, an oversight, or something.
You know, like 15 (or more) missing emails.
It’s all just a misunderstanding.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Gack! Maybe not Turley.....but a walking stereotype. Do all of these androgenous people go to the same stylist?
[Here is how the State Department of “most transparent administration in history” dealt with Kredo]
Odd, it’s almost as if the whole ‘most transparent administration’ thingy was a complete and total lie.
But how could that be?
He wasn’t approved...you know like the Tass reporters
