Heretofore a champion of a free press, congressman (and former Plain Dealer copy boy)
Dennis Kucinich has cut off nearly all communication to Plain Dealer political reporters.

Kucinich has not returned calls for several weeks to the newspaper's Washington bureau, which covers his actions in Congress and his presidential campaign. As noted in Monday's newspaper, he uttered a string of non sequiturs -- albeit pleasant ones -- when a Plain Dealer reporter attempted to interview him outside the House of Representatives chamber.

His presidential campaign staff for weeks has not returned Plain Dealer calls and e-mail.

Natalie Laber, Kucinich's publicly paid spokeswoman in Congress, also has not returned phone calls and e-mail during this timeframe. That includes multiple inquries from reporters asking about Kucinich's votes in the House, his positions on congressional issues and matters unrelated to his presidential campaign...

1. I don't blame him. I've heard PD reporters lying outright to convince me that DK

was bad for Cleveland.

I let them have it in their faces. Of course, the owners side with them - or is it they get their paychecks signed by the guys who want DK gone?
