Seeing as how today’s edition of Reliable Sources was devoted to the Obama administration’s 8-year relationship with the press, it only made sense for Brian Stelter to speak with one of the White House’s chief press critics.
You may remember the years-long legal battle journalist James Risen underwent in which the government was pressuring him to identify his confidential sources in a leak case. The case was finally resolved two years ago, but Risen has been on record saying the Obama White House has been “the greatest enemy of press freedom that we have encountered in at least a generation.”

Irrelevant urinalist decries bronco admin for lack of co-operation. Well jimmy, I got a feelin' the knot in your panties is about to get a snugging. Pretty obvious that the WINNER, and soon to be Commander In Chief, cares not one whit about the press, so buckly up buttercup. It's gonna be a rough 8 years for you and the rest of the press corpse(sic).

Exactly. They’ve worn kneepads for Obozo for almost 8 years, now they have to pretend that they’re journalists again.

“Draining The Swamp” will undoubtedly include many of the media when Trump gets started.
