Palin 'Media Malpractice' Documentarian Thrown Off USC Campus

"Media Malpractice" documentarian John Ziegler was thrown off the USC campus in southern California Wednesday by security guards.

Ziegler was attempting to interview people attending The Annenberg Norman Lear Center's excellence in journalism awards ceremony at which CBS's Katie Couric was to be honored for her "Evening News" segments with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Unfortunately, the good folks at USC didn't want Ziegler to speak with anyone, and physically escorted him off campus -- in handcuffs.

[I saw this on TV and it was disturbing in that the fellow never attempted to enter/'crash' the (invitation only) event, but rather stand passively on a side walk and try to give away DVDs of his chronicle re: the smear campaign he believes Palin to have been subjected to.

Nonetheless the campus police saw fit to handcuff him and remove him, his only 'offense' being that of having an opinion, respectfully/harmlessly conveyed.

Evidently too much for the current definition of 'diversity of thought' at our colleges.]
