“A CNN reporter was thrown out of a private reception in Yale President Richard Levin’s office after he shouted a question about whether Hu had seen more than 1,000 protesters gathered on the city green,” the Associated Press reports.
The reporter was Joe Vaccarello, an associate producer in the U.N. bureau, TVNewser has learned.
The AP quotes a Yale spokeswoman who says Vaccarello was thrown out because “we invited you to cover an event, not to hold a press conference.” But “as far as he knew, there were no restrictions,” a CNN source says…
> Update: 3:54pm: The reporter “was escorted out of Woodbridge Hall by police,” the Yale Daily News adds.
