WP's Dana Milbank: Secret Service stopping reporters from interviewing citizens at Palin rallies at Palin campaign's request:
Via Romenesko. Is there still a Congress? Posted by Laura at October 16, 2008 03:34 PMI have to say the Secret Service is in dangerous territory here. In cooperation with the Palin campaign, they've started preventing reporters from leaving the press section to interview people in the crowd. This is a serious violation of their duty -- protecting the protectee -- and gets into assisting with the political aspirations of the candidate.
