The Associated Press and others are reporting that Gov. Palin has banned reporters from her meetings with world leaders today, allowing access to only photographers and a television camera crew. In other words, she wanted a free photo op with no strings attached. Palin's move is in keeping with her practice of refusing access and answers to any and all things relating to her background, qualifications, and record.
When the Associated Press and other news organizations objected, Palin's staff informed them that the matter was not open for discussion. CNN, which was on hand to provide television coverage, pulled its camera crew after it, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and others voted not use any video coming out of Palin's meetings in protest.
