Of course, honourable Rumsfeld is being protected since he is, after all, regarded a very attractive target for nihilistic freedomfighters. -or
[insert description here]
So under this "open" pressconference held in the norwegian Departement of Defence, certain foreign medias, covering foreign news, has been screened
out. Officially this has been done due to space in the room where the conference is held. Amongst others a reporter from BBC and one from
Al-Arabiya.
This screening is not in thread with norwegian principles of publicity regarding an officialy open pressconference. It is also reason to believe this
is being done to avoid media to ask Rumsfeld "hot" questions from medias with a dominating arabic ordiance.
It is indeed a streak of censorship in this, and the norwegian defence minister should not go along with this. Or at least make sure that only the big
medias get access, not neccesarily the local media, whereof maybe 10.000 people reads.
"...but NRK will cover it..." - you say? Well, they suck up to the Government, or Norway Inc. I don't think we will get full coverage there...
(NRK = Norwegian Broadcasting Company)
Hopefully TV2 gets in there and will be able to send a full coverage pr. TV.
