"...Rushdie is in the hospital in serious condition and his attacker, Hadi Matar, was due to be arraigned this morning.
But it turns out that the New York Post and the Associated Press (at a minimum) were told by officials that they could not be present at the arraignment to cover the news...cited “the safety and security and good running order of the facility.”
...But Salman Rushdie is an international figure.
Having some maniacal Iran supporter nearly kill him is big news.
How the authorities choose to handle Hadi Mater will be watched closely..."
