"An independent video producer will not be allowed to videotape a pair of criminal trials in Tennessee because a judge has deemed him not a member of the 'legitimate media.' John Lee maintains the Web site piratenews.org and in the past has broadcast his work on public-access cable. He was seeking permission to film the trials of Clifford Clark, who is charged with criminal trespass at the University of Tennessee and pointing a shotgun at a deputy who was serving the trespass warrant. Clark was originally accused of shooting a red-light camera, but that charge was dismissed Thursday. Lee, who said he was banned from public television over the content of a program he had submitted, has expressed concern about judicial and prosecutorial misconduct."

"It is the Court's opinion, as it stated to Mr. Lee in open court, that anyone can make a business card, with at-home equipment as well as a press badge, and bring a hand-held video camera into a courtroom, and declare themselves media. That does not make 'legitimate media' under Rule 30. Any citizen may use the community television stations in any community to broadcast their personal opinions. The use of euquipment by other than legitimate media who directly or indirectly feeds news to the general public and is in business for the purpose of giving news to the general public and is so chartered, is what the Supreme Court intended to be legitimate media. The state opposes Mr. Lee's as the state has opined that Mr. Lee has a specific agenda and is not a legitimate news organization. Thus the motion of Mr. Lee to present himself as media and to be permitted to use a camera or other recording device under Rule 30 of the Supreme Court Rules, is hereby respectfully denied."
-Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz, Knox County Criminal Court, Order Regarding Media Request, State v Clifford Clark, Docket 90821, 91484, 90252, 90618, 22 July 2001 (four previous judges ordered in this case that Pirate News TV is "legitimate news media" in the world-famous case of State of TN vs Clifford Clark as seen in The Green Hornet movie, WON BY MR CLARK ON APPEAL AFTER A KNOW COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF CONFESSED TO SHOOTING A REDLIGHT CAMERA, DEPUTY SHERIFF EYEWITNESS SUPPLIED BY PIRATE NEWS)

The gun issue is losing momentum everyday since December 14th. Our collective conscience has a life span equivalent to a tse-tse fly's. And every day that goes by lessens the pain and anguish of even so horrendous an event as the Newtown shootings of children. We're just built that way, to forget and move on...the amygdala thing strikes again. Nothing is going to significantly change with guns, and it's pointless to waste another breath about it.
