A longtime Washington reporter and White House correspondent has accused the current administration of being “the most hostile” to journalists in the history of the USA.
“Well, let's use the ‘P’ word here,” Franken told MNBC Live host TJ Holmes. “This is propaganda when it comes from the White House: government covering the government. “
“It’s not what you’re supposed to do in the United States of America,” added Franken,

“But the reason I say most hostile,” continued Franken, “is because of the Justice Department moves that they’ve made against the press. Obviously they have a contempt for the journalistic process. Those of us who are in journalism, of course, believe that it is vital if you’re going to have informed electorate as opposed to one that’s been propagandized.”
Indeed, the latest episode pitting the White House against the nation’s media establishment is not the only one to scar the administration, not even in the last year. In May it was revealed that the Department of Justice was conducting surveillance targeting AP journalists, and soon after it was made public that Fox News reporter James Rosen was being monitored as well.
Most hostile to Americans.
It isn’t hostility. You don’t expect lap dogs to do anything but what they’re told.
How will the historians react when their tongues are free to wag without repercussion from the Obama administration (post 2016)?
How will the public react to the news that the media remained silent (they were not so quiet about Boosh)?
There is no objectivity in reporting. It is partisan. Strictly partisan.
leftwing historians will still deify him
He’s as phony as Milli Vanilli. One day, he may become just as ridiculed by everyone.

“Have they no self respect?”
Actually, the Obamanation administration thinks quite highly of themselves.
In other words, cockroaches have a contempt for electric lighting.
They don’t like each other, but they still sleep together.
The Journalists must be into Sado-Masochism then, because no matter what Obama does to them, they bend over and spread their cheeks for more.
Obama spits in their faces and they love it.
Fetish Freaks.
