Anyone see Amy Goodman try to ask David Koch a question?

it's on their stream now, but I think it happened yesterday. She is at the RNC convention walking around talking to people.

Really strange, she approaches him and he seems to be willing to talk to her, but then a group of about five guys in suits stands up and blocks him off from her. She wanted to ask him about the concentration of wealth and the disproportionate influence of a small number of people.

She managed to ask someone named Cox, I think, who is some relative of Richard Nixon. He denied that the wealthy dominate the political process.

Her coverage is fascinating all around, completely different from the networks who as far as I know just point their cameras at the stage.

I wish they'd sue and win a billion dollars every time this happens!
