John Ziegler Handcuffed at USC Katie Couric Journalism Award Event

Documentary filmmaker, John Ziegler, was handcuffed at the USC Katie Couric Journalism Award Event while asking questions outside the event.

This information is being passed along to you in order to scare the hell out of you, as it should. However, we have to learn how to be strong enough to handle wrong doings such as this, as this is only one of the unlawful practices having taken place against those of us who believe in providing others with the truth. This is happening more and more in an effort to silence those of us who have allowed ourselves to be silenced for so many years. As you will see if you watch John’s whole video, he was not doing any harm, nor was he creating a large scene. If he would have been acting on behalf of one of the extreme socialistic groups, he would have undoubtedly been left alone. My opinion of this event is that it never should have happened in the first place. Katie did not deserve any sort of award for her ridiculously slanted interview with Sarah Palin. Whether you like Sarah Palin or not, the interview was held with the sole intentions of lowering her influence on the conservative people.

Below is the reason there is a need to attempt to prop up Katie Couric by offering her an award for her, in my opinion, failed and extremely biased form of journalism.

“All I’m trying to do is ask questions!”, John stated.

John Ziegler: John went to USC to witness and ask questions about Katie Couric getting the Walter Cronkite journalism award for her interview of Sarah Palin. He intended to also give away copies of his film but was literally prevented from doing so. He did not go there hoping for or expecting any sort of confrontation, especially with law enforcement. He was simply shocked and horrified by what happened there, as should every freedom loving American. He did absolutely nothing wrong and was handcuffed, detained and literally abused by law enforcement at the event. The video speaks for itself, John will have plenty to say about this very disturbing episode. This video was shot and edited by Orange County Films. John Ziegler was not involved in the production or editing of this video in any way.
