n Oct. 9 press release from campaign staffer Tom Erickson said that Sen. Norm Coleman would "hold a media availability" Friday morning. But when I arrived, Chuck Olsen of the citizen-videoblogging group The Uptake had already been refused entry. When I tried to enter, Erickson barred me entry, stating that the event, held in Coleman's campaign office was for "legitimate" media only. As journalists from local media streamed past -- Star Tribune columnist Nick Coleman, MinnPost reporter Joe Kimball, TPT host Eric Eskola -- Coleman staffers refused to share what criteria it used to determine what makes a news operation legit.
