An Angle spokeswoman’s decree after a dust-up with a reporter on Friday is not going to stand. The CBS television affiliate in Las Vegas, which tracked down Angle at the airport yesterday after being tipped off to her flight information, will not be banned from Tuesday evening’s GOP Victory Party at the Venetian after all, Republican sources say.

However, at present, there exists general agreement that the KLAS-TV/CBS reporter involved, Nathan Baca, will not be permitted to cover the event for his station.

As reported by Battle ‘10 last night, the Angle campaign had confirmed that KLAS was going to be banned from covering Angle at the Republican election event.

Communications Director for the Angle campaign Jarrod Agen said the reporter acted on a tip from Harry Reid and that the ban was being imposed because KLAS inaccurately reported what occurred after Baca “ambushed” Angle. As of last night, Agen’s claim about the source of the tip had not been substantiated.

Battle ‘10 has since learned from a producer at KTNV-TV/Channel 13, the ABC affiliate in Las Vegas, that the origin of the tip was a staffer within the Reid campaign, who called the station’s news desk yesterday morning to inform them of Angle’s arrival at the airport. Presumably, a similar call was made to other Las Vegas television stations as well, though KSNV/Channel 3, the NBC affiliate in Las Vegas, was the only other station to send a reporter to the airport.

The Reid campaign has been issuing press releases and posting web videos criticizing Angle for her avoidance of the media (that video includes a great deal of footage from KLAS reports and ends with a personal statement about the issue by Harry Reid).

The state Democratic party has been doing the same with the recent creation of their @ChickenAngle character who shows up at Angle events and goes away sad and disappointed that he did not get to speak with her.
