Interview With Jailed Video Blogger Josh Wolf

Posted by kdawson on from the alarm-clock dept.

Video blogger and independent journalist Josh Wolf has been in a federal jail for 170 days for refusing to turn over to a federal grand jury a video of a San Francisco demonstration. On Feb. 6 Wolf's length of incarceration set a new record for US journalism. "Democracy Now!" has an interview with Josh Wolf from his jail cell. If federal authorities can jail bloggers with impunity, it does not bode well for the future of citizen journalism.

    Are prisoners in USA allowed phones in their cells? I thought smuggling phones into jails was a big problem.

    I wouldn't know, but Bubba might ;-)

    Still a bunch higher than when Bush took office. Big surprise that an oilman in the oval office led to higher prices.

    Thanks to aggressive imperialistic foreign policies that piss-off the rest of the planet against 'mericans.
