There was a story a few days ago of reporters from CBS (if I recall correctly) being turned away from a coastal marsh area that had been severely impacted by the Coast Guard. The reporters were told not to take any pictures or video and when they questioned the Coast Guard about this they stated that the "order" came down from BP.

Has anyone else heard this?

Why would the Coast Guard give a **** what BP wanted and would they enforce such a thing?

Is this story a bunch of hooey?

Any information on this would be appreciated.
