Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) has blacklisted WTAD radio in Quincy, Illinois. Their offense? Reporting the news. In particular, they revealed his plans to come to town:
A spokesman for U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) says the senator’s office will no longer send media information to Quincy’s oldest radio station because the station decided to let the public know he was coming to town. . .
Durbin, the assistant majority leader of the Senate, has been an outspoken critic of health care town hall meetings, said he didn’t want to get a “sucker-punch” from constituents and opted to have a session in a conference room before an invited few and a handful of reporters.

A more telling incident could hardly have been invented.
