Rebuffed By XM, Ashcroft Jumps To Rival NAB - 3/5 - The Wall Street Journal is reporting that former Attorney General John Ashcroft, who recently sent a letter to his successor Alberto Gonzales blasting the proposed merger of Sirius and XM satellite radio firms, approached DC-based XM in the days after the merger was announced offering the firm his consulting services, a spokesman for XM said Saturday. The spokesman said XM declined Ashcroft's offer to work as a lobbyist for the company. Ashcroft was subsequently hired by the DC-based National Association Of Broadcasters, which is fiercely opposed to the merger.More from Engadget.
