I'm sure this is a false story because everyone knows the Dem's are for the little guy and they say no to special interest groups.

The Denver Post is reporting that "[a]n ABC News producer was arrested Wednesday outside the Brown Palace Hotel as he attempted to chronicle attendees at a private breakfast held by a Democratic Party campaign committee."
In an article filed in the late afternoon on August 27, Post television critic Joanne Ostrow noted that the network insists they weren't breaking the law:

ABC said in a statement that Asa Eslocker and a camera crew were "attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting."
"We're getting under their skin, I think," said Brian Ross, ABC News correspondent whose "Money Trail" reports are running every night this week and next from both nominating conventions.
Eslocker, a member of the investigative team, was charged with trespass, interference and failure to follow a lawful order. He was put in handcuffs and taken by police van to the downtown police station.
On Tuesday, Ross and his crew were asked to leave Hotel Teatro when they tried to photograph a private function. On Monday, they shot pictures of a party at the Denver Art Museum through the glass.

Lucky that it was an ABC reporter and he only got arrested. If it was a FOX reporter I am sure the democrats would be calling for the death penalty only to be pardoned by the current republican president!

Let's make it very clear. This event is charging admission eventhough they denied it. To get a skybox, 1 million. To get a seat, they claimed not to be charging the ordinary person however for weeks in order to get a ticket you were directed to a site to make a donation. That link was taken down after it was reported and followed up on repeatedly.
