Inquiring Minds Want To Know

Delegates at the Republican Convention in Tampa try to prevent reporter Amy Goodman with Democracy Now! from confronting top GOP donor David Koch about whether the unchecked concentration of wealth subverts democracy.

 

Some weeks earlier U.S. Senator Rand Paul reportedly tried to get Media Roots journalist Abbie Martin arrested and fired for asking him questions in the capitol building concerning the undue influence of money in politics. She speaks about that experience with Luke Rudowski at WeAreChange.org.   

 

In further developments around the treatment of inquiring minds at the Republican National Convention, the daughter of yet another major billionaire donor shoved a producer asking questions, then grabbed his camera and threw it to the ground;  also,  two convention attendees threw nuts at an African American CNN camerawoman, shouting, "This is how we feed the animals!"  Democracy Now! reports that the attendees were later removed from the convention which they have been covering at their website here throughout.
