Better yet, AP should “agree” with Holder. Record the meeting anyway. Then it’s...”Oops somebody leaked. Sorry about that.”

Are you crazy? That would involve them in a massive leak investigation and Holder could confiscate their phone records...oh, wait...never mind...

Mr. Woodhouse, your ignorance of your country's Constitution is astounding and shameful!

The "press" does not forfeit its right to "gripe" by not jumping through any hoops devised by any government official or combination of government officials!

The First Amendment to the Constitution is the law which "shields" the press, leaving it free to "gripe" all it wishes to gripe. No other law is needed. America's wise Founders believed that citizen liberty was safer in the hands of an unfettered press than in the hands of government officials.

"It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others; or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own. It behooves him, too, in his own case, to give no example of concession, betraying the common right of independent opinion . . . ." --Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush, 1803.

"The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1787.

Did your NC History teachers not include these ideas of freedom in your high school or college courses?

You're talking about the commie-clad "educationers" in this country, right?

Why did Holder or Obama let a little shithead from the DNC try to make administration/media relations policies?

Who is this guy? We didn’t elect him to anything, and the position for official outhouse cleaner was filled.

The Democratic National Committee is filled with the dregs of political society so this guy has a great future when Carney, the Liar in Chief’s top spokesLiar resigns.

Obama/Holder/DNC spokesIdiots give “bottomdwellers” a good name (Bottomdwellers are class action trial lawyers like John Edwards).

For the schmuck named “Woodhouse”, an ancient curse:

“May a million termites infest your house”.

Holder was replaced by Deval Patrick two weeks ago. Patrick just hasn’t gotten moved in yet enough to start his new job.

Probably standing in line at the DC DMV waiting to transfer his drivers license, or waiting at his new house for the cable guy :)

They should agree, then record the meeting, then blame it on a ‘low level NYT employee.’

The media seem to believe that getting rid of Holder may save Obama.

Bet you are right on this.
This off the record meeting will be nothing but holder threatening the press. Remember the wiretaps on Fox and the AP? That was done in preparation for the AG to start shoving the media around. And the media will have no choice. Add to that, the IRS is now in charge of the medical industry adding another threat the AG can throw at the media.
