I doubt we'll be able to find a clip of the segment but just now (~8:00am) on CNN was a story about the health care reform town halls and the Portsmouth one was being discussed. They talked about how last week in Grafton it got a little heated and showed a few clips of Dave's footage. It's CNN so unsurprisingly they only mentioned their side of the story claiming it was in no way a town hall or advertised as one and they interviewed Shaheen where she parroted her press release.

They didn't mention Ridley Report or Dave directly... just "a protester who posted his footage on youtube." I guess the Keene footage is too new for them... i'm sure they'd have love to show that.

That's cool that Dave's stuff was on NPR and CNN.

The Grafton event was billed as a town hall meeting by some Democratic, Republican and conservative groups.  No group billed the Keene event as a town hall meeting, Ian and Sam were just confused.

My comment on that YouTube video:

CNN just stealing footage without giving due credit.
Politicians are all scumbags. Shaheen and Pam Slack (Shaheen's lackey) are two of the? worst kind.
Liars and assholes all of them.

New channels are covering this story with a pro-healthcare stance, because drug makers and familesUSA.org (the BOD includes the president of Blue Cross Blue Sheild MA) are spending 150 million dollars to promote Obama's healthcare plan.

These networks want those advertising dollars, so they are reporting with a bias that brings that cash in to them. (your news reports were friendly to our cause, here is some cash to run our advertisments.)

I'm pretty sure I'm pro-industry as well. Perhaps you meant pro-healthcare-fascism.

Ok, I'll say I am against the current healthcare regime from now on.

I'm anti-doctor.  Does that make me anti-healthcare?
