“Just who do they consider the media? FreeRepublic included.”

The way our freedoms are being removed, it wouldn't surprise me to see this forum monitored by Holder's men and posts removed and posters tracked down and charged with whatever criminal charge Holder makes up.

The Ministry of Media is not pleased.

The media needs to do an about face and expose everything they know about BO and Holder and quit propping them up. This way, impeachment proceedings would be supported and we could get rid of them before they clamp down on the media—I know-wishful thinking. They aren’t that smart.

Liberals believe “journalists” are exempt. In other words, they’ll say “Fox News, Hannity, Limbaugh are is not news outlets so the government should be able to censure them.” I know a liberal with a masters’ in history who said this. This guy believes msnbc IS a news outlet.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Congress isn't doing it - the Justice Department and specifically Eric Holder is - and that will be just peachy with the spineless Pub's in DC.

I’ll have to read Pravda for the truth, how ironic.

Rod Serling would love how Pravda is more honest than our enemedia. This is truly the Twilight Zone.

Are you kidding me? Why do they get pissed off when we call them Nazis and commies? The government is going to start monitoring the media? I wonder how the media feels about that since they got these idiots elected.

Just remember this, whether a person gets all A's or all D's, the degree says the same thing.

LOTS of people with degrees who are blooming idiots.

Several years ago, while I was in school, I made a sarcastic post on FR. I was reported to the university police as a member of a white supremacist organization who was planning on killing muslims. Whoever reported me saw my university email addy in my FR info and contacted the administration and university police. The police had a full investigation and I was interogated for hours. I was worried that I was going to be thrown out of school. But, they did not.

How come every Gaw-damned thing I hear come out of Holders mouth sounds like it would sound best in its’ original German?

They're pretty cool with it.

It's *their* side that's going full-Nazi.

If the New York Times was run by a man rather than by Jill Abramson this story would be an issue.

But the Times is run by women - women who wants to compromise, get along and have ‘consensus’. The biggest story of the decade will be ignored until it's too late.

Thank God for the AP and FOXNews...

I wonder if ‘monitoring’ will include unexpected heart attacks or strange automobile accidents?

Now, if only the media would respond with its own guidelines for monitoring the Justice Department.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

It didn’t that the Justice Department “shall make no law”
