Code Pink, Again to the People's Cause

Code Pink Action:

"Activists Trick-Or-Treat At FCC WASHINGTON -- October 31, 2007: Interrupting FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's opening remarks at Wednesday's FCC localism hearing was a woman dressed in a skimpy French maid's outfit, who successfully fended off two security guards' efforts to oust her from the room. Samantha Miller, appearing on behalf of anti-consolidation group Code Pink, added some activist touches to her Halloween costume by writing the word faux in marker across her bosom, along with references to major media outlets like ABC, Viacom, and Disney elsewhere on her body. While a pair of FCC security guards attempted to escort her from the FCC's meeting room, where Wednesday's hearing was held, Miller's increasingly vocal questioning as to why she was being asked to leave, support from her fellow Code Pink members, and an ever-growing group of assembled press led the guards to acquiesce and allow Miller to stay.

• MUST READ: Endorsing Irresponsible Journalism: another excellent piece from David Sirota:

  "Barely anyone reports when paid Washington lobbyists pose as statesmen to stealthily shill for their corporate clients, because that's just what happens day-to-day in D.C. Similarly, we see the Dean of Serious Washington Journalists mentioning the irresponsible choices of his fellowreporters, but mentioning it in a way that actually praises onecandidate as "exquisite" for exploiting that irresponsibility -rather than railing on the irresponsibility within his own industry."
