(1,918 posts)about PBO and his family, policies, etc., I would not be surprised he is more protective of any info before it's fully vetted by people he trusts. Not to say there's anything to hide, but with many spin doctors pretending to be journalists, I sure as hell would do the same thing.
Perhaps we should also compare what journalists have been writing about his administration and compare it to that of previous presidents. I'm sure we'd find a dramatically different picture of how he's been treated compared to all others.
And as in the spirit of Eddie Murphy, with some journalists and pundits: you give them one inch, they go three inches. You give them three inches, they go a foot. Give them a rope and they want to be a cowboy!

(1,918 posts)Thanks for bringing it up. We've essentially been at war for so long that I'm afraid I started taking the military's information for granted. Good on ya for kicking some knowledge my way.

(10,893 posts)but if this person who wrote the article is correct and Obama truly were waging a war on journalists, then wouldn't all FOX anchors, Limbaugh, Greenwald, Alex Jones, etc. be out of business by now and perhaps be locked up? Because those have been among his biggest detractors in the media.

(1,805 posts)Their headlines have gotten to be like TMZ or Yahoo. I cringe when I see Arianna on Bill Maher - it seems the only place I've seen her lately. And Howard Fineman and his smugness. Yep, best to skip the site altogether.
