• RawstoryBloomberg recently came under rhetorical fire for the NYPD’s actions in Zuccotti Park. When police moved to evict “Occupy Wall Street” protesters, reporters were prevented from witnessing the scene and some were even arrested.
The city also closed airspace in lower Manhattan to prevent news helicopters from taking aerial footage of the police crackdown.
