ABC producer arrested

Most of the DNC coverage right now is insufferable. But one thing stood out: NECN's good reporting on the fact that in spite of all the Obama rhetoric, the convention is the same as every other convention in the history of the Union: It's all about money.

Not exactly news, but what made it interesting was an ABC News producer got arrested for refusing to leave the sidewalk outside some event where they were serving up filet to the fiscally effluent faithful. The whole thing's on tape: about five cops, including a cigar-chomping sergeant, manhandling the skinny producer.

-----------------------------

I must have been only halfway paying attention. The report that aired on NECN last night showed video of the arrest of ABC producer Asa Eslocker. ABC has asked the Denver authorities to drop charges against Eslocker, which include obstructing a public sidewalk. I've corrected the headline and the copy above.
