NBC's Brian Williams on NOLA Media Censorship

MSNBC: "While we were attempting to take pictures of the Natl Guard (a unit from Oklahoma) taking up positions outside a Brooks Brothers on the edge of the Quarter, the sgt ordered us to the other side of the boulevard. The short version is: there won't be any pictures of this particular group of Guard soldiers on our newscast tonight. Rules (or I suspect in this case an order on a whim) like those do not HELP the palpable feeling that this area is somehow separate from the United States. At that same fire scene, a police officer from out of town raised the muzzle of her weapon and aimed it at members of the media... obvious members of the media... armed only with notepads." Wow... armed w/notepads... those nasty Media Thugs.
