Ashcroft won't talk to print media

From Jay Rosen's terrific journalism blog:

First in Philadelphia, then again in Buffalo, Federal agents were ordered to block "print" reporters from questioning Attorney General John Ashcroft during events where he defended the Patriot Act and talked about the urgency of renewing it.

Note: The man using federal agents to prevent the print media from talking with him is the Attorney General of the US.
