http://jimromenesko.com/2013/11/14/reporters-covering-sarah-palin-book-signing-are-locked-in-a-room-at-walmart/Sarah Palin is signing books today at a Walmart near Wausau, Wisconsin. Theres a big religious-music-in-schools controversy there, so it makes sense that the former Alaska governor would stop by to promote her book about protecting the heart of Christmas.
Its no surprise, too, that Palin with the help of Walmart would keep reporters at a distance.
Wausau Daily Herald reporter Theresa Clift, who is covering the Palin event, tweeted at 10 a.m. CT this morning: About 8 media members and myself now locked in back room. We arent allowed to talk to guests here to see Palin.
An hour later she posted: All media will be escorted off the property after we get five minutes seeing Palin, we are told.

Aren't there any car crashes or open sewer pipes they could gawk at?

Rush Limburger has been lying about the liberal media. . .

Sadly, it has been proven every day for 20+ years.

Her problem is she has too much to show, all of it stupid, and they want to keep the showing to a minimum.

http://injury.findlaw.com/torts-and-personal-injuries/false-imprisonment.html
In fact, any person who intentionally restricts another's freedom of movement without their consent (and without legal justification) may be liable for false imprisonment, which is both a crime and a civil wrong. It can occur in a room, on the streets, or even in a moving vehiclejust as long as the subject is unable to move freely, against his or her will.
