I’m mixed on this. While I support the freedom of the media to hold the government accountable for its actions in our name and on our dime, I really appreciate the media being hounded by a government they have explicitly championed, in the harassment of conservatives. The media which has repeatedly looked another direction as the government of the left (their preferred representatives) was left unquestioned and unmonitored by the media.

I don't think anyone need be mixed on this one. It is delightful to see "one of the most respected news people in the region" hounded for "unauthorized filming" of establishing shots around Grant Cottage, on the grounds of "Camp Walkaway" (Not to mention the head of the NY Associated Press).

At the same time, this is damn unusual. Is it just a case of an over-zealous redundant and disgruntled corrections officer enforcing dated security? And who were the others filming there? The Crew from "The Walking Dead?"

There's a simple answer, but with Mad Cuomo "runnin' things" and with his fur up, this is the kind of controlling, or "monitoring" behavior that rubs the wrong way really, really badly.

The reporter/newsreader is clearly a nicer guy than me. Let's just say the corrections officer would have needed to back things up in a real hurry, citing statutes, and not just "Albany."

Are there suddenly no longer any critical needs for prison space in New York? Somehow, I doubt it.

Does anyone have any idea what the real story is, other than sarcastic speculation?

The most obvious answer, with "private security" suddenly in place, is detention of illegals.

They irony is lost on the press. They don’t see themselves as responsible. No one raindrop blames itself for the flood.
