Dictators do, what dictators do.

Silence the truth at all cost.

Man, that's depressing. This whole cluster of issues is what soured me on Obama, of whom I was skeptical from the start. It's one thing to get elected and realize transparency is much more complicated than you expected, but it's another to be downright shadowy and start bullying people in the press.

That's what happens when you vote for an image rather than substance and experience. People will go to great lengths to protect a facade.

As a Liberal who doesn't buy into cults of personality, I hope this sends a message to the Left about manufacturing political heroes. It's a fair accusation that we do. At least Hillary had/has legitimate political chops.

Now this is a telling paragraph - The Committee to Protect Journalists conducted its first examination of U.S. press freedoms amid the Obama administration's unprecedented number of prosecutions of government sources and seizures of journalists' records. Usually the group focuses on advocating for press freedoms abroad."

Obama's America - quickly becoming a banana republic.

All partisan bickering and name-calling aside... it's alarming. Very alarming.

To bypass journalists, the White House developed its own network of websites, social media and even created an online newscast to dispense favorable information and images.
That is the very definition of state run propaganda. You've got to be fricken kidding me that ANYONE would still support this clown.

So true.

Regardless of voting persuasion, this should be deeply disturbing to ALL of us.

The media is supposed to be the watchdog, not the lapdog -- with the muzzle.

Just as alarming, many voters will either ignore this and make excuses, or think it's acceptable. Some right here, in this forum. They're probably gathering talking points and strategizing right now on how to try and discredit the linked article.

I thought Obama was the "liberal" media's darling?

Isn't the AP a liberal media outlet? No wonder Snowden ran to Putin. He knew Putin isn't afraid of Obama and wouldn't hand him over.
