A purpose defeated?

In my humble opinion, I think the fact that the media’s cameras and recording devices are banned from Gore's upcoming speech is ridiculous. If the objective of the event was in fact to raise awareness, it is going to do a poor job at that. In fact, $208,000 will be spent on a message that only 5,000 out of a total of approximately 1 million Saskatchewan inhabitants will see and hear. In an event that was primarily intended to raise awareness throughout Saskatchewan (who produces among the highest greenhouse gasses in the country), Gore's message (because of this media ban) will only be seen and heard by 0.5% of Saskatchewanians.
