[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Before we all sign up to join the Free Morgan demonstrations, I would point out one thing, which I would suggest puts a somewhat different light on this: Morgan was NOT taking those photos as a PJ - he was taking those photos as a paid publicist for Greenpeace. Morgan was NOT on site as a journalist. He was on site as a contract employee of Greenpeace, hired by them to take photos of their action. He was, in other words, hired by them to promote the allegedly - and I stress allegedly - action they were staging. He was, therefore, very much a part of that action. This one, folks, may have more to do with a freelance photographer's failing to think before he took a job, than it does with suppression of freedom of the press. B.

Jeezus!!! While I have no use in general for liberal-eco-wacko causes, including Greenpeace, this is reprehensible treatment for a journalist. We >>DO<< have bigger worries to address in our country (and the world?)...maybe this will die out on it's own, or be thrown out of court. We hope.
