Conyers Has Our Back?

You may remember a few weeks back we told you how the Justice Department had banned TPM from its press list and was coming up with a bunch of ridiculous reasons why we couldn't be reinstated. Apparently one was a DOJ budget shortfall that meant they couldn't afford keep us on their email list. (Talk about budget cuts!) Now Chairman Conyers (D-MI) is asking the DOJ if this isn't another example of the politicization of the Department.

(In the background, the issue here seems to be that the new head of the DOJ's Public Affairs office got his nose bent out of shape when we reported on a string of his knowing and intentional misstatements of fact. Our banning followed soon after.)
