The NYTs is no great friend of a free press itself.

You have been promoting and lying for leftist totalitarians for decades and now you've got one.

...The press itself is one of the greatest enemies of all freedoms.

Thanks lbryce.
“A lot of people still think this is some kind of game or signal or spin,” reporter James Risen told his own paper... “They don’t want to believe that Obama wants to crack down on the press and whistle-blowers. But he does. He’s the greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation.”
Where was this joker when Zero, Holder, and the rest of that criminal gang were running guns to the drug cartels? Rejecting tax-exempt status to conservative organizations? Pushing through unconstitutional bills? Like all the partisan media shills, he was on the sidelines cheerleading, and using exactly the same talking points as the rest, perhaps right down to the term "tea-bagger" or "right-wing" or (let's not forget) "racist". All this dramatic talk is an alibi for that, and an apparent truce which will be forgotten once Republicans are elected into power.

Also note that his troubles are attributed in the above excerpt to the Bush administration? And here it’s attributed to that damned Citizens United-dumping right wing Supreme Court. Not a peep about Holder or Obama.

Support James Risen
Published in Editor’s Notebook 05 Jun 2014

The Supreme Court on Monday turned down an appeal from James Risen, a reporter for The New York Times facing jail for refusing to identify a confidential source.

And here’s the Slimes, empathizing with Zero and Holder:

> The dilemma comes at a critical moment for an administration that has struggled to find a balance between aggressively enforcing laws against leaking and demonstrating concern for civil liberties and government transparency.

When it’s about them, and their loss of “special status”, the reporters finally remember how to report.

Of course all the VRWC folks know this, but your average MSM reporter/reporterette still thinks Bamster means no harm — except to his enemies. Stupid media, you're at the top of his enemies hit list and you'll never see it coming. It's not like you weren't warned. But, no, you refused to listen.

An enemy of press freedom?

No, Obama is an enemy of mankind, right up there with
disease, petulance, nuclear war and a raving bitch.

It's not just Obama - it's most liberal elites...
