CBS Early Show Removes Anti-War Protesters from View in Kansas City
September 4, 2007 By Matthew Rothschild

“I received an e-mail about the event and a flier from the Early Show inviting people to attend,” says Ira Harritt, Kansas City area program coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). . . . Harritt recruited people to come and carry some AFSC “Cost of War” banners. These are seven feet long and three feet high, and they all give different answers to the question: “One Day of the Iraq War Equals.” (Such as $720 million, or 84 elementary schools, etc.)

“We started assembling the banners in the park,” Harritt says, “and immediately, a CBS staff person said, ‘You can’t be here. You can’t have those here.’ ”

“There was a woman with a CBS badge on who kept going back to the CBS trailer. And she told us, ‘If those things get on the air, I’m going to lose my job.’ ”
