This is outright suppression of the media.
Bloomberg BNA energy reporter, Ari Natter, was detained today by Capital Hill police for trying to ask the EPA chief a question:

We know that the media is tightly controlled in a communist state, and this lady has just been made an example of.
A reporter has been detained by Capitol Hill police for trying to ask a question of Environmental Protection Agency administrator Gina McCarthy.
Bloomberg BNA energy reporter Ari Natter tweeted about being detained.

Natter was detained while covering the American Council On Renewable Energy conference, where McCarthy spoke. Also speaking at the conference was Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a staunch supporter of green energy who regularly takes the Senate floor to sound the alarm on global warming.
McCarthy spoke about renewable energy issues, including the EPA’s proposal to cut back the amount of ethanol refiners are required to blend into gasoline annually to avoid economic calamity. She also talked about the Obama administration’s view that energy and environmental policy go hand in hand.
“The energy issues and the environmental issues we are facing today are really two sides of the same coin,” she said.
Natter was eventually let go after police checked with their superiors and ran a background check on the reporter, determining he had the proper press credentials.
After consulting with his superiors and running a background check the police have let me go.

.@alexcguillen: Not the first time I have been threatened with arrest for doing my job as a reporter. Probably not the last either.

He also noted that McCarthy did not answer the question he braved Capitol Hill police to ask her.

All those Involved Should be Fired !!!!!!!!!!!!
It was no accident, they poisoned the river on purpose. The west is in the worst drought ever, and to make it worse would benefit Obama’s martial law agenda.. That’s why they waited a whole day to report the spill, so there’s no way to stop or detain it.OPEN YOUR BLIND EYE’S AMERICA !!!!!!!!!
What did we expect? What a loser!
DEFUND the EPA, until complete investigation by congress. This stinks that someone who is supposed to “cleanup” creates this toxic mess. If this were a citizen (not gov’t.) that person would be in jail. If it were a business, they would be fined and probably out of business. But, this is our government, Obama’s EPA and sorry just doesn’t cut it. THIS is still OUR country. I want to know WHO, when, what. WHERE are the investigative journalists? OUR tax dollars pay this woman’s salary and waste it on her staff, why? WHERE is our country?
We need to reign in the EPA and stop it’s $#%&!@*ault on America. Recently they themselves dumped metal contaminates into a major river. Who will fine them for that little act? It is time for Liberals to leave our government.
The big spill, contain cyanide Mercury for those of you who want to know
They did it deliberately!
These Obama yes men and women that havent a clue what they are doing should be fired. Especially the Director who cant even explain Global warming
Bunch of incompetence unfit for their positions or just a gang of traitors to do the people and this country in.
They are ALL! in bed together!
