Oh the Irony!!

Comedy Central’s Rally to Restore Sanity is prohibiting filming on Federal property. Read the email exchange in that article. It is instructive.

The question is why? I can think of a couple of reasons.

1) Comedy Central wants to tightly control media content for marketing reasons. If that’s the case do this on private property.

2) Comedy Central wants to control the messaging. With all the claims made by the left about Tea Party rallies they are probably terrified of independent video being shot. You get a crowd of progressives together and you will surely have a nice collection of crackpots and goofballs to video.

I wonder if they will leave things as clean as the Tea Party folks?
