I was reading the Arizona Star online and came across
this little anecdote about how the BC04 team asked to know the race of one of the newspapers veteran photographers who was credentialled to snap shots of Cheney for a campaign stop over the weekend.
The paper was given some weak rationale but they did not relent. Thankfully.
But the question remains, why on god's green earth would they actually need to be racially profiling the press? Is it just paranoia that has risen from the low levels of Women's Wall Street "up" to higher eschelons?
