I'm all about pointing the blame at a bunch of rich people for destroying the environment in the gulf, but the coast guard is undoubtedly looking out for public safety and trying to ensure that the cleanup effort can work without and disruptions. There have probably been many instances where the reporters were in the way. They should be able to report 65 ft away. It's not like they are telling them they can't come within a mile of the cleanup crews.
if there were such a thing as "adequate' in the mind of the media, then limits might not seem so necessary. As it stands, these keystone cop-acting fools have a remarkably consisitent habit of smothering not only the subject of their attention but their very selves in the process, as well. We need people trying, however unsuccessfully, to bring an end to this chapter of this oil catastrophy vastly more than we need to allow unfettered worksite access to an unlimited number of media who consistently fail to demonstrate human-like behavior. Given the technology of the day, 65 feet seems a more than adequate distance from which to chronicle efforts without getting too much in the way. There is no doubt that we cannot survive without a robust media, but too often these characters are no more than locusts whose product very nearly does not justify the resources they burn in their process.
Safeway should have been clear in their marketing what they were selling at the "Farmers Market." Otherwise their customers will come to distrust the company's advertising.

Makes you wonder what they are hiding
