No handcuffs?

What were they afraid he might see or hear? Oh, yeah—transparency.

wtf

Definitely being held against his will….I think it is called kidnapping?

This is exactly what dangerous regimes do. That Biden is a laughable jackass misses the reality that he and Obamo are extremely dangerous and politically violent people.

That’s just Joe !!

“here’s a story about a reporter who learned that the only one he was getting cozy with was himself, locked away in a closet. ”

Powers told The Drudge Report: ‘When I’d stick my head out, they’d say, “Not yet. We’ll let you know when you can come out.”’

That’s funny, usually when I’m LOCKED in somewhere I can’t “stick my head out”.
Sounds like they were using the storeroom as a temporary green room.

Whatever the case, why is the word “locked” in this story?
I expect those lies from drudge and freerepublic, but not here.

totally unacceptable in a free society. joe biden needs to apologize yesterday and set some heads rolling.

What an idiot.

I’m sure he was told if he wants the story he must wait in the storeroom. He could have left the premises at any time.
Sure, this might be a story about full access, that’s legit, but it is not one about being “imprisoned”.

Kidnapping. lolol

Hey Joe , stand up, Joe, stand up and take a bow !

If he was a Fox News reporter, then I’d completely understand the desire to keep him holed up in a closet. Put Chris “whiner” Wallace in there while you’re at it.

Wow, this is the first time the press were told where to wait.

Remember when Bill O’Reilly was “imprisoned” years ago because he was held back from bum-rushing Obama for an interview.
They did not let him go where he wanted.

That’s kidnapping!

“As the unaware $500-a-head invitees dined on caprese crostini with oven-dried mozzarella and basil, rosemary flatbread with grapes honey and gorgonzola cheese, grilled chicken Caesar and garden vegetable wraps, veteran reporter Scott Powers was locked away.”

Sorry you didn’t get the free lunch Scott, but you were only there to cover Biden’s speech.
I guess you could have waited in your car but that wouldn’t have been very convenient when you needed to be there at a moments notice.

Next time they’ll rent you a hotel room there so you can do your job like Scott Harrigan.

Matt, I think you were unfair.
Telling someone where to wait is not being imprisoned or locked away.
Just because freerepublic reports it that way doesn’t mean you have to.

Disappointed, I am. :)

LMAO!!

First Conservatives were complaining about radiation from airport scanners, then they told us that radiation is good. Now, after Bush tried to kill all journalism and the Conservatives on Mediaite were wishing for the deaths of journos in Egypt and Libya, they are going to become the biggest advocates of a free press…we don’t need to Jon Stewart anymore, this shit writes itself.

I wonder if he found any of Bidens old hair plugs while he was in there?

better yet

I wonder of he found Obamas birth certificate while he was in there?

But your not sure he could have left?
And you call me an idiot?
Do you ever wonder why your credibility is lacking?

Wow, is my time in the closet getting legs on the blogosphere. I had no idea.
Let me clarify a few points.
1. It was frustrating and annoying that I was not given a chance to do my job fully and properly. I was allowed to come out long enough to listen to the remarks, but not to talk with anyone, a point reported a couple times later on this blog.
2. I wasn’t kidnapped. I was confined, but the situation was: If I wanted to hear the remarks, I was to wait there. If I wanted to leave, I’m sure I could have left the house. I just wasn’t free to join the party to talk with anyone. (See point 1.)}}}}}}}

Yeah, I’m pretty sure you are the idiot with no credibility.

More….

3. While this was an extreme, and extremely inappropriate way of handling the press, it’s unfortunately not unusual for event organizers to put reporters in a spot where they cannot wander freely and talk with people at the event. Politicians of all stripes adopt this policy. More typically, when this happens, we’re roped off in a corner of the event area. Besides the practical problem of this preventing me from doing my job (see point 1,) it was essentially a rude and uncomfortable way to treat a reporter. But that’s it.

BFD…I am amazed at the astonishing speed you come to the defense of our incompetent gaffe prone VP!!

Pretty funny watching bfd tripping over himself…

I’m sorry I debunked all your frothing accusations about kidnapping and imprisonment when it turns out it was just a very rude way to rope off a reporter.

Can we move on to your next batch of lies now?

Knock the dirt off your knees, bfd.

My only regret is that I didn’t let this thread go on a little longer before I posted so a lot more of you (besides you and ChrisNH) had time to makes asses of yourselves.

I’m sure your life is full of regrets. Add this one to the list.

THE PRESS HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT DURING YOUR DINNER TOO AMIRITE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PROLLY SOME CRAZY MORMON SHIT!?!?!?!

Apparently for the very first time Biden wasn’t the dumbest guy at the party.

Just look at the comments on the next story. The lies will be there too.

As long as your OK when a rightie does this… but you won’t be. You’re a hypocrite.

Reporter Sequestered In A Closet At Joe Biden Fundraiser

When you drop to your knees and basically perform fellatio on Obama like cheap whores, as the mainstream media has, you don’t get any respect.

This story would have been ominous to the power of 10 had it been a Republican VP office behind it.

As it is now it’s merely covered by the designated pitch hitter for all the rightwing wingdings that Mediaite must tolerate on their site.

BFD said:

BDF, you must be applying for a position on Biden’s press team, ’cause you are sure scrambling to cover this one.

let’s see… “temporary greem room”, … ” “As the unaware $500-a-head invitees dined”… Sorry you didn’t get the free lunch Scott”, … “Telling someone where to wait is not being imprisoned or locked away”.

You forgot to add that – just maybe – there had been a terror threat and they were keeping this reported locked away for his own safety!!!

That would all be fine except you forgot to include the fact that I used Scott Powers own words to debunk the lies coming from your side.

Sucks to be you..

BTW, why is this article going through a series of edits?
Didn’t the headline used to say “imprisoned”?
That’s not right.
It’s chickenshit to change your facts after they have been debunked so you don’t look foolish for jumping on the usual bandwagon of lies from the Right.
Do an UPDATE or something but don’t change the whole substance of your story so the comments don’t make sense anymore.

It looks like the words imprisoned and locked were changed to sequestered and tucked. lol

No the writer of this article is the one scrambling for cover by changing the wording of his story without any notification.

Bfd, you’re comments didn’t make sense no matter the title of the piece. Start your own blog if you don’t like it.

Whoa, Darth Cheeney pulling something like this? There must be something to hide. Haliburton, big oil……….The left would be beside themselves, not making excuses. Sort of like bombing a country without consulting Congress. LOL

So why did EVERYONE including Joe Bidens staff, the manson’s owner, Nelson’s staff, ans even guests at the fundraiser call the reporter to say how wrong it was and how sorry they were and it will never happen again. Why??? Why say sorry if nothing wrong (in your opinion) was done. Why???

A reporter stuck in the closet? Steve Doocy?

Oh wait. They said “reporter”.

I never said nothing was wrong , you moron.

I said it was a horribly rude place to rope off a reporter.
He deserved the apology.
That doesn’t mean he was locked or imprisoned in there.
Are you really that stupid?

Locking the pool reporter in a broom closet — is that The Hope, or The Change?

BFD said:

But you told us he was “roped off”. In a closet. Your butthurt is strong this morning, BFD. Why don’t you do something fun like tell us how many days it was between when Henny Glenny predicted a middle east meltdown and went we went to war with Libya? That would be fun, wouldn’t it?

“…and then stood outside the door to make sure he didn’t walk out without permission”

Isn’t involuntary incarceration (i.e. KIDNAPPING) a crime – even for lunatic-left d-crat socialists?

Oh wow, look at BFD dancing as fast as he can! hahahahahhahahahahaha

Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander sent Powers an apology, saying “Scott – You have our sincere apologies for the lack of a better hold room today.”

OK morons, listen up!

GBR (whom the family lovingly refers to as “Goober-Brained Retard) put our son, BOMBSHELL JR. on a bus to Thule, Greenland. He told our boy there would be a kitten waiting for him when he got to Greenland, and you know how our son is ALWAYS asking everyone he meets to buy him a kitten.

Well, the kid is sort of dimwitted just like his ol’ man, and so I’m stepping in until we get him back to provide moral support for my ol’ man, and you’d danged well better NOT mess with me! Just know that I am GBR’s ol’ lady, and give me the respect I demand.

Oooh! Sequestered in a closet….hey BFD, how would you like to sequester me in a closet sweetheart?
