As Fellow 'Journalists' Back-Stab Woodward Others Speak of Brutal White House Hectoring of Reporters

"...undercutting the First Amendment, which 

guarantees a free press through many voices. 

If they put out their own material, it’s state-run media..."

If you've somehow been convinced Watergate reporting legend Bob Woodward was mistaken in thinking he'd been threatened by the Obama regime -perhaps by the gaggle of Obammunist hacks lining up to trash him- think again: now that such an honorable source has come out and exposed Team Obama for the punks they are, more victims are going public (thus sure
to be attacked by the left in the coming days):

Doug Ross:

Bob Woodward has unleashed the floodgates: liberal media is finally admitting the truth about the Obama administration's lack of respect for the freedom of the press. 

In addition to Woodward, correspondents Lanny Davis, Bill Plante, Neil Munro, Ron Fournier, David Brody, Conor Friedersdorf, and others have expressed their concern and disbelief regarding the administration's fascistic mindset: ... 

“I had a young reporter asking tough, important questions of an Obama Cabinet secretary,” says one DC veteran. “She was doing her job, and they were trying to bully her. In an e-mail, they called her the vilest names — bitch, c--t, a--hole.” 

He complained and was told the matter would be investigated: “They were hemming and hawing, saying, ‘We’ll look into it.’ Nothing happened.”... 

Besides serial abuse of reporters not satisfied with spoon-fed WH statements, there's also an issue with access in general, as in the case of last month's Tiger Woods golf outing, with ZERO press in attendance- whatsa matter Barack, afraid of an awkward pic of you hanging with some perverted scumbag?

Then last Thursday, the swearing-in of Commerce Secretary Jack Lew was conducted in secret, with not even a photographer present. When asked 'why', WH spokesdrone Jay Carney actually said -with a straight face- 'It's a family affair' (Corleone!)

But for WH staff to call a reporter every 4-letter word in the book... simply for doing her job, the inalienable right to which being enshrined in our Constitution?

WT* indeed...

The MSM helped create a monster, and are now crying because the monster has turned on them? I guess they earned their useful idiot badge with honors. Maybe they were hoping to be killed last.

Bob meet Bottom of the Bus, Bottom of the Bus, meet Bob....

Obama will discard useless idiots at his pleasure. Just ask Oprah and Hillary.

[Reaganite Republican]

Progs will treat anyone no longer politically useful like yesterday’s garbage, and even a guy of Woodward’s stature is not immune from these punks’ wrath it seems

[carlo3b]

Just a dust-up to be settled soon, with the gaggle settling down or become the next to be Woodwarded.. You will notice we aren't talking about the lies, we are distracted to a soap opera about calling an a$$hole media type an a$$hole.. Most folks will side with the Obombthrowers .. :)

“Journalists” eating their own.

[Steely Tom]

Huh. The MSM thought it was great fun to watch the White House tell vicious lies about Republicans, use Goebbels-like tactics against them.

Now those tactics are used against members of the MSM and they’re all upset. Go figure.

[LibWhacker]

No honor among scumbags.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I posted that very thought almost two years ago. The MSM sold their souls for access long before he was elected the first time and I believed that they would not be able to control the monster they created.

[Uncle Miltie]

Liberals squeal when their First Amendment is gored, but not when our Second Amendment is gored.

Typical leftist hypocrites.

The WHOLE Bill Of Rights matters, folks. Wake up!

[SampleMan]

Interesting dynamic here. Can anyone imagine Bush intimidating reporters? Of course not, because he didn’t have the power. Obama’s power against the press isn’t derived from being president, its derived from being the leader of the socialist party.

As the lead socialist, Obama does have the power to cut these socialist underlings (the press) out of the circle of trust and power.

It is telling how much control this has over the media.

[Vaduz]

If they are pi$$ed now wait until the media is state owned.

When asked 'why', WH spokesdrone Jay Carney actually said -with a straight face- 'It's a family affair'

WTF does that mean?
