This is in fact quite opposite of wanting somebody "arbitrarily muzzled" - it is a request for more information. Either she can provide or she can't. Our media, unfortunately is quite content with fluff.
NONSENSE.

The big, bad ol' "Media" is hardly the behemoth hegemony you imagine. We live in a Wikileaks time of vast, unfettered access to facts and opinions of every various stripe and measure of quality.

Anyone with a Twitter, Facebook or Blogspot account is "media."

DePape in fact has largely (and deservedly) raked over the coals by the pundits, all the while accomodating all manner of interview requests. She has also recieved various job offers from advocacy groups and a world-famous director. Seems like she's managing the fall-out just fine.
