I have already contacted all of the FoxNews shows to let them know. I believe I can get original footage of the incident. I also plan to sue "Alaskans for Peace and Justice" for defamation of character.

This is a new low.

Try submitting a thoughtful and well-written letter to the editor in every local newspaper in your town. Cheer up, and thanks for being there today.

Insist that if the disruptor's presence will affect the viewer's perception of you that the station 'digitize' the background to make his appearance indistinguishable.

I was a news photog for 10 years...when someone did something similar to what you've described to a subject I was shooting, I zoomed in so they would be in effect 'cropped out' of the shot.

That being said, even if he is in the back of your shot, people will assume someone who would go that far to interfere is a wacko jerk, anyway.

What's the worst thing that can happen? It MAY air on the local affiliate, if the network DID pick it up, it would likely be the pictures of the protest, not the entire piece (with the reporter's voice track and the soundbites).

Bottom Line: Probably won't turn out to be a big deal.

Semper Fi, Devil Dog.

Three hundred to one, and the howling hordes of hoary haired hippies, still felt so inadequate as to use decietful measures against the lone voice of opposition.

Congradulations on your courage and committment.

You have to watch them every minute. You never know what they will do next. Thank you for your counter. Way to go, and don't be sorry.

Good come back rface! And quick, too!

300 to 1...you're my hero...

That's okay. You should have asked the protestor if that sheet was a "treasured" heirloom passed down in their family. Or maybe it was presented to him by a "distinguished" member of the US Senate, Robert Byrd.

The left loves to play little propaganda games because the truth is not on their side. Even Mikey Moron had to alter the "Willie Horton" ad for its inclusion in Bowling For Columbine.
