The Minnesota Joint Information Center put out an advisory this afternoon:

Law enforcement coordinating security related to the Republican National Convention are asking media representatives to exercise caution, following credible reports that media may be targeted by groups wishing to cause disruption and damage.

The media has _already_ been "targeted by groups wishing to cause disruption and damage," since one of those groups is the St. Paul police. On Monday night, Amy Goodman and two other reporters from "Democracy Now" were arrested and the two reporters were beaten, all while displaying their press credentials.

Hard to believe they are after the main stream press or even the alternative press.
Democracy Now has a very different agenda than brining the news to the masses.......
