KATIE COURIC - TALK-SHOW HOST BUSTED ON CAMERA

TALK-SHOW HOST BUSTED ON CAMERA

Unedited footage of former conservative radio talk-show host John Ziegler being ordered to stop conducting interviews outside a hall at USC where CBS's Katie Couric was being honored last week -- then being handcuffed by university guards and hauled away when he refused -- was being posted on numerous conservative websites over the weekend. A campaign was quickly mounted on Couric's Twitter page demanding that she speak out against Ziegler's treatment. (During a discussion at the USC affair, Couric remarked "I Twitter and blog very selectively ... I don't think anybody gives a rats ass whether I am about to eat a tuna sandwich. I don't even care.") While he was being handcuffed, Ziegler repeatedly mentioned the irony of mistreated as a journalist outside an affair dedicated to excellence in journalism and laughed throughout the experience.
