St. Louis, November 5 (RHC)-- Local authorities in Ferguson, Missouri, have privately conceded they sought a no-fly zone to limit media coverage of the protests that erupted after the police killing of Michael Brown.
The U.S. federal government granted the request to bar all flights around Ferguson, including news helicopters, on safety grounds. But in new audio recordings obtained by the Associated Press, a federal official says: "They finally admitted it really was to keep the media out."
