With Martial Declared, Expect The Media To Get Pulled Out
Get ready folks, the administration is taking a beating on this and you can tell that they are getting pissed.

With the declaration of martial law, expect to see the reporters pulled out (I'm sure they will make a squad of soldiers available for this task) to silence their voices and the pictures from the ground. The talking heads that haven't been impacted by this will dismiss it as "pulled back for safety".

If you think for a second this isn't going to happen, you are sadly mistaken. I expect it to happen at any time. The question is going to be, what are the news outlets that have been affected by this going to do in response? What is going to be our response?

3. They will put them in a sort of "Protest Zone"
They will herd them into pre-picked areas that are in the area, but out of the view of the main scene of the disaster.

That way, it won't seem like they are out of harms way, but far enough away to "shield" us from the views.

5. Just a quick link
There are better links, but this is my first that I was able to run apart. Just read the article, it mentions it towards the bottom.

6. Martial law was declared by the city, not by the feds.
