Soms kom je op internet opmerkelijke dingen tegen, zoals dit bericht uit het voorjaar van 2000:
Carolyn Cole, a Los Angeles Times photographer, was arrested on a felony charge after authorities alleged she threw rocks at police and then photographed the commotion she caused. She was officially charged with "throwing a deadly missile," paid a $7,500 bond and was released Saturday, according to The Miami Herald.
"Carolyn Cole was covering the protests in Miami as a news photographer, not participating in them, and her photos published in the Times make that clear," Times editor Michael Parks said in an interview in his newspaper. "In arresting Cole and detaining her for more than eight hours before releasing her on bond, Miami police prevented her from continuing to report a story of national importance. We see this as an abridgement of the people's right to know under the Constitution. We will ask for the immediate dismissal of the charge against her."
The Times reported that, if convicted, Cole could face up to five years in prison. (A month later, charges against Carolyn Cole were dropped. The paper maintained Cole was innocent, and that police only arrested her to stop her from doing her job.)
En deze aanval uit rechtse hoek op Carolyn Cole, die veel weerklank vond in pro-Israëlische kringen. De directe aanleiding was haar verslag van de bezetting van de Geboortekerk in Bethlehem in mei 2002.
