WASHINGTON
Many on Monday are seeing a double standard in the U.S.’s attitude toward press freedom after a reporter was removed from a meeting with American and Uzbek officials.
A State Department spokeswoman was grilled by reporters about the removal of a Washington Post reporter after she began questioning Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov on human rights during a meeting Sunday with Secretary of State John Kerry.
Video of the incident in Uzbekistan shows U.S. and Uzbek security agents escorting the journalist from the room.
