Breitbart News reporter Matthew Boyle was removed, without explanation, from a campaign event for Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in Exeter, N.H., yesterday despite the event having been advertised as a press conference open to media.

Soon after, Boyle was approached by a staff member and the owner of ReVision Energy, a local renewable energy company at which the event was held, who asked Boyle to leave and claimed the event was not open to the public.
Breitbart News editor in chief Alex Marlow says the decision to block Boyle demonstrates hostility toward a free press.
