Ted Gulp has a long piece on the Washington reporting since Sept. 11 2001. Some good stuff about the Bushies determination to control all information. The most sobering pull-quote: At the Justice Department, Totenberg notes, contact with the media is monitored and a representative from the press office sits in on interviews. So Ashcrof sends minders along to interviews??!!! Like Saddam and Castro, huh? Link: New Climate, Old Culture (CJR) (thanks to L for the hint)
