PENTAGON POLICE GRAB TAPE FROM FOX NEWSMAN

A FOX NEWS cameraman was accosted by Pentagon Police outside the building on Tuesday -- as he was shooting pictures of an arrest being carried out by Virginia State Police on a highway that runs alongside the Pentagon but outside Pentagon property!

The FOX staffer was ordered to turn over the videotape.

When he balked, he was handcuffed.

His camera was immediately seized and the tape was confiscated.

"Is this America!?" demanded a news producer at the network's DC bureau.

"He was subsequently released with his camera but the Pentagon is refusing to return the tape," FOX's Brit Hume explained to viewers.

The nation's top-rated all-news channel is preparing to lodge a formal complaint with officials, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Hume calls the episode a "disturbing development" which may reflect on the new "restrictive information policies of the Defense Department."

A FOX Source notes: "We still don't have the tape and they haven't given us any indication of when we might expect it -- It makes you wonder who is on it?"

Developing...
 
Last time I checked, yellow journalism isn't illegal...

Maybe they'll force them to use supermarket checkout lines as their only outlet. 😉

Edit: Damn that liberal military! I knew it was the liberals!
 
I couldn't find anything about this on the Fox News website.. you'd think they would mention something like this... anyone else pursue this story any further?

You must not have looked very closely. It's right there on their website! FOX
 
A second side to the story is always nice.

I was watching CNN today and a representative at the whitehouse (that chick) said that there are clearly signs that mark no video taping. This guy broke the law plain and clear regardless of the benvolence of his intentions.
