Wow I just recorded Medea Benjamin, Founding Director of Global Exchange and co-founder of Code Pink and Friends getting taken away by police immediately after the vote was taken on the media ownership rules in Washington DC today.
Maybe they woke up Jesse Jackson. (He was falling asleep in the audience :-)
From the CSPAN footage, it looks like they broke up the meeting over it.
I guess things were over with anyway at that point.
Commissioner Adelstein gave a nice speech at the end there, too.
I'll have this stuff up in an hour or so max. Capturing and generating movie files now...
