BTW, welcome aboard, Bill! Ashcroft is making the press unhappy. "Romenesko"

Gitlin: Ashcroft knows local TV reporters are stenographers
PressThink | IndyWeek.com
Why is Attorney General John Ashcroft ducking print journalists and using local TV reporters to promote the Patriot Act? "He knows that, with niftily chosen sound bites, he can dominate local television, which harbors few practitioners of anything that can be called journalism," says Todd Gitlin. "Since most local TV journalists are little more than stenographers, he can safely stay 'on message,' rally his partisans, and keep annoying critics at bay." From Durham Independent: "I'm surprised NYT assigned such an attack dog to Ashcroft."
