I don't get what the big deal is. Sixty-five feet? If you've got something better than a cheap digital camera you bought at walmart, 65 feet is as good as being 2 feet away.
The guys getting stonewalled at the medic tents is a different story.

This is nothing close to a violation of 1st amendment rights.
Its a decent solution to the enormous disruption that media mobbing causes to anything useful that people are trying to do. Telephoto lens, exactly.

Monkey Napoleon - 2010-07-04 I'm not sure how society benefits from Anderson Cooper interviewing booms and dead fish. Also not sure if booms and dead fish get any kind of expectation of privacy as a rule of law.
BP telling it's clean-up workers not to talk to the press (even by threat) =/= the US gov suspending the 1st amendment.
Anderson Cooper is INCENSED because he knows a golden opportunity to advance his career and gain prominence by scooping one of the worst natural disasters in recent history has been hamstrung. He can still show you oil soaked wildlife. He can still show you thousands upon thousands of square miles of wrecked ocean. He can still bring you the sob stories from local buisnessmen whose entire livelihoods are gone.
What he CAN'T show you is Anderson Cooper cradling an oil-choked baby dolphin, tear in his eye, sobbingly explaining about how it's breaking his heart. See Also: Haiti
I stand by my request for a hyperbole tag.

schwaeg - 2010-07-05 public beaches haha. have you ever tried to go to a public beach after dark? beaches close. just because it's a public beach doesn't mean you get to use it whenever and however you want. there are rules. also, a public beach can be closed for a number of reasons. jellyfish, sharks, oh and maybe an environmental disaster. stupid fuck

Obviously, Anderson, you are the enemy. Duh.

I think what weirds me out about this most is that BP is still completely under the delusion they might still be able to resell their oil.
If anything at all, maritime salvage law has been suspended.

Longshot- - 2010-07-04
I say let the reporters go out and wade hip deep in the oil. In fact, let everyone who wants to wade in toxic sludge do so. Please, it'll remove those idiots from the equation sooner.
I'm just fine looking at that stuff from a distance, if the reporters wanna get right up in it, I say let 'em.

Don't worry, they're just looking out for our best interests and this has nothing to do with not letting journalists record this travesty in all of its absolute horror. Because that might make the government and the oil companies that control this entire world look bad.
