What Don't They Want You To See? |

(The Politico) Broadcasters on Capitol Hill are protesting the move by
House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) to limit live
television coverage of this afternoon's House-Senate conference
committee hearing on the emergency war funding bill for Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Steve Chaggaris, a producer with CBS News who is chairman of the
Congressional Radio-TV Galleries’ Executive Committee of Correspondents,
sent an e-mail to members Monday informing them the association will
send a formal protest letter to Obey and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-
Calif.).
Obey’s office informed broadcast outfits Monday morning that they would
be allowed to shoot an opening shot of members convening for the
meeting, but camera crews will not be allowed the cover the rest of the
negotiating session.
“As you know, this creates an uneven playing field as it provided
certain segments of the press full access to these official proceedings
while excluding others,” Chaggaris wrote.
“Even more importantly, this action clearly does not live up to House
Speaker Pelosi's promise of a new era of transparency and openness in
the Congress, particularly as it relates to the war in Iraq,” he
continued.
The meeting Monday is the first official session of House and Senate
negotiators who hope to marry the two chambers’ separate wartime
spending bills. Most of the negotiations between the two chambers are
carried out behind closed doors.
Obey's office did not immediately respond to an e-mail request for a
comment.
House rules state: "Whenever a hearing or meeting conducted by a
committee or subcommittee is open to the public, those proceedings shall
be open to coverage by audio and visual means. A committee or
subcommittee chairman may not limit the number of television or still
cameras to fewer than two representatives from each medium (except for
legitimate space or safety considerations, in which case pool coverage
shall be authorized)."

"Protests right out of the Vietnam era, and Vietnam analogies used to
determine current foreign policy.
Strange that those who call themselves “progressives” haven’t been able
to progress much since 1968, don’t you think? "
