Description
Michael Mann’s war on journalism continues as his lawyers demand the court ban journalists from asking him questions.

Phelim’s questions to Professor Mann outside the courthouse didn’t please Mann or Mann’s lawyers. But does this justify Mann’s lawyer, John Williams, misrepresenting what happened?

And what is Bill Nye the Science Guy doing in court?
