Journalist Muzzled At Journalism Conference

Al Gore spoke to about 500 members of the Society of Environmental Journalists in Wisconsin yesterday. About 200 protestors stood outside in the cold. In an unusual move, Gore took questions from the floor. Among the journalists present was Phelim McAleer, producer of the new anti-global-warming-hysteria film Not Evil Just Wrong and a member of the Society.

When McAleer tried to ask Al Gore a question about the errors in his film An Inconvenient Truth that were enumerated by the British High Court the organizers surrounded him and cut off his microphone.

Just so there is no mistake about it: the Society of Environmental Journalists cut off the microphone of a journalist asking a legitimate question in order to protect a politician. This is disgraceful.

Here's the video:

UPDATE: From Glenn Reynolds: "Like questioning communism at a Pravda editorial board." Links to Washington Examiner's Mark Tapscott who calls the Society of Environmental Journalists "Homers" - sports writers who only root for the home team.
