Capitol View

When in doubt, shut them out

Posted at 4:57 PM on October 1, 2007 by Bob Collins

I know a lot of people think journalists are jerks -- and a lot of them are (bowing) -- but it's never a good sign when a politician, especially one running for president, tries to shut them out of coverage. Yeah, I'm talking about you, Kucinich.

Apparently he's upset that the reporters at the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the home city of the soon-to-be World Series champions I might add, aren't giving him the same coverage as Obama and Clinton.

So to solve that, he's doing what he an to get even less.

The logic of that probably makes sense in Ohio.
