Matt Bartel was invited by WCCO-TV to
Katie Couric's event, but then the Twin Cities CBS affiliate realized he was
a blogger. "They pulled me out of the auditorium and told me that they'd become aware of the fact that I had a blog," says Bartel. "They said, 'We don't want you to participate.'" They told him to surrender his notebook or leave. "I wasn't going to give them my notebook; I had business stuff in there." A compromise was reached: the WCCO staffer confiscated Bartel's pen instead.
