USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page said that the Obama administration has been “more dangerous to the press” than “any administration in American history” on Monday.
“This administration has been more restrictive and more challenging to the press, more dangerous to the press, really, than any administration in American history,” Page said. “In terms of legal investigations…and I think access to the White House has just gotten worse and worse.”
Page said the Obama administration’s bullying and intimidation of journalists has severe implications for the future of political journalism in the United States.

Remember this thread and mark my words. He has concocted many a plan in which the time up to his leaving office will make, ISIS, Ebola,economic disaster, criminality, treason, fraud, treachery, financial shenanigans, Islamic resurgence, illegal immigration and worse, look like the good old days before he is done.
The media complains, and continues to protect. They’re just angry they don’t get enough quality time with their lord and savior.
You could solve that problem, Sue, hon’, if y’all would just do your damned jobs with some vigor and some integrity.
They still jump at every chance to kiss his nether regions.
“...we’ll never regain access, ability to do reporting, ability to do our job unless we just constantly fight the battle.”
Duh! You sometimes have to fight for your rights or they will be taken away.
Had this been a Republican administration that has done all these things to the Press, they would have collectively made them pay dearly. What have they done instead? Roll over and play the role of a lapdog, or worse, defend this administration!
Now that Obama’s term is nearing its end, the press suddenly (and conveniently) starts worrying about future administrations. Well, tough luck! The way the press has acted the last 6 years has been nothing short of disgraceful, and I for one will not shed a tear for whatever happens to them and their precious, and now undeserved, freedom of the press. And there are millions just like me.
There has never been a more incestuous big-media & administration relationship in American history.
98% of them (and forgive me if I underestimate) are so damn blind to the danger that they see a steady job with the Ministry of Propaganda as far preferable to a risky job as a real journalist.
To me it appeared that the MSM transitioned from “very liberal” to “active functionaries of the regime” when Obama appeared on the scene.
Heckuva job, Suzy!
That is pure “HORSE HOCKEY” There was nothing to stop these LIBERAL, SOCIALIST and COMMUNIST “NEWS VENDORS” whenever a republican “CONSERVATIVES” or even a “SEMI CONSERVATIVE” (like GW Bush) is in office. In the last 6 years that OBAMA has been destroying this country, the LAME STREAM MEDIA is still in the tank for this LIAR IN CHIEF. And yet, we hear nothing from these “NEWS VENDORS”. They haven’t said anything about all the lies that this LIAR IN CHIEF has been spewing out. Had this administration been a republican administration, I’m quite sure that they would be shouting from the roof tops for his impeachment.
It is well known that that Obama has been doing this stuff since the day he got in office. All the while the corrupt MSM was more than willing to play in bed with their guy in the White House, now his political usefulness gone, they suddenly cry "rape" over Obama's actions.
Rings hollow.
Geesh, the White House told you reporters everything you wanted to know about Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS scandals. Just how much transparency do you want?
US Media are a bunch of “tools”. Even Chomsky admits it, lol.
She’s gonna need a good tax lawyer
She’s a liar. We were told this was going to be the most transparent administration in history. /s
So true, after November the gloves will come off, he is now just getting started.
There will be some shouting, crying, moaning and groaning, but no one will stop him and any conservative who attempts to, the Rino’s will destroy.
However Cruz has demonstrated he will not be intimidated, he will stand and if he is left standing alone he will stand that much stronger.
Buyers remorse.
She squeaks lightly about danger to freedom of the press? What about the danger to the vastly declining American way of life? Not a peep. It took her six years to come to a point where she has to concoct this thin little premise of objection? Well, having seen it I still don’t know what she’s running cover for. Weak as water, no sale.
One good example is the VA scandal. The MSM ignored this story when they should have jumped all over it. Unlike the IRS scandal and Benghazi this involved local corruption and hurt innocent military veterans, yet even though it would not have lead to the White House, the media ignored the story and nothing seriously has been done to end this corruption nor have those involved ever been held responsible. A good press would have crusaded to end this corruption, publicly shamed the perpetrators and demanded justice be done. Yet in their devotion to Dear Leader they ignored the story.
