Did anyone else watch the ABC Evening News tonight with Charlie Gibson? ABC seems to be the only network that ever investigates or exposes any corruption or influence peddling within the Democratic Party. Both CBS and NBC seem to be convinced that such activities are only a Republican thing.
Tonight's investigative report showed how the Democrats were pandering to their "fat cats" at the convention. These are extremely wealthy individuals who raised or donated over $100,000 in private funds to the party.
One ABC News reporter that was part of this investigation had a camera crew outside an event that the Democrats were holding for some of these "fat cats". He was outside the building, on the public sidewalk with his sound and camera men, covering the event. However, a security guard literally pushed him off the sidewalk, and out into the street.
Then, shortly after that, an entire gang of Denver Policemen descended upon the reporter. They promptly arrested the reporter, shutdown the camera, and took the ABC News reporter to jail.
Why did the Denver Police Department react with such overwhelming force and numbers to the simple threat of an ABC News investigative reporter who was targeting the Democratic Party? What has happened to the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution, that guarantees Freedom of the Press? Does this freedom only exist if it is Republicans that are being investigated?? Why on earth would the Denver police act as stooges to the Democratic Party like this??
Here below is a link to the video that ABC News took of the arrest. So you can judge for yourself who was in the wrong here. Take special note of the officer who is clearly in charge, who has a great big fat cigar stuffed into his mouth!!
What is up with that? Senior Denver Policemen smoke while they are on duty? The man looks just like some kind of Gary Busey movie character.
Here is a link to the ABC News video of the arrest:
