Controlled Geithner press conference shuts out Infowars, censors real questions

http://www.infowars.com/controlled-g...eal-questions/

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner made an appearance alongside IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman at the Joe Stack crash site in Austin, Texas. Their purpose was straightforward– to grandstand over an attack on a government agency and to set the scene for demonizing “anti-government beliefs.”
