Ed Klein notes in Blood Feud that there have been a few MSM journalists who have had negative things to say about this admin.

File it all under 'too little, too late.' The MSM time after time accepted the admin's 'dog ate my homework' excuses starting with 'Fast and Furious.' F the lying admin, and F the MSM weasels who want to have it both ways.

anonymous =/= un named.

Unnamed = We have decided not to use the sources name in print.

Anonymous = Someone called us and didnt tell us their name, and they gave us a tip that we can not back up.
Yes, I actually do disagree with what he said. He said we should just discount everything these unnamed sources said and give full weight to Cecilia Munoz, who has every reason to lie. Do you know what this administration does to whistleblowers?

Besides, I never once heard anyone complain that Deep Throat wasn't a valid source even though he wasn't named until decades later. The Press uses unnamed sources ALL THE TIME! It's the way they are able to get information about our government, though they sure haven't been the muckrakers they used to be.

Obama and the media is more like Putin and RT everyday. Men and their propaganda machines!

Today Obama asked, what do the seperatists have to hide? It was almost as if he mocked the folks asking him the same question on Benghazi, F&F, IRS and obamacare.

The whitehouse has zero credibility and exist only for the benevolence of the media. The media is the real power. Saddest day in American history when the media became obama's lapdog.

When the president never ever show upo for a scheduled press conference on time his word is further diminished and he shows no respect for the prople he pretends to serve. Like the Twilight Zone episode where the aliens had a book, "how to serve man" and the humans thought it was about the best ways to treat humans and proof the aliens had our best interest at heart. Turns out it was a cook book!

And so Obama, alien to our culture, sacrifices anyone to further his political agenda. Acrually quite like Hamas.

All this because the media allows it.

All this because the lame azz push over media let him for so long. But also because his naïve supporters, who also at fault, for making wild excuses for him, at all cost. And some of the excuses are doozies.

But got to hand it to him, always finds time to FUNDRAISE even during a crisis.

Lets try this again

unnamed = We(the press) know who you are, we just choose not to print your name. Woodward and Bernstien knew the true identity of Deep Throat.



Anonymous = you sent in a tip from a blocked number and hung up when we asked for your name.

The Washington Post had the identity of Deep Throat. He wasnt anonymous.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Unnamed and anonymous sources are the same damn thing when it comes to journalism.

Clearly the cat was out of the bag on this story, and the Obama Admninistration knew it:

Obama aides were warned of brewing border crisis - The Washington Post

The Obama Administration is concerned about these "anonymous" sources, but as we can see in hindsight, they are accurate. Obama desperately needs to control the narrative, because he's NOT a leader. People that have critical-thinking skills know this, and now the shine is coming off of the turd in the White House. Obama is desperate to create a state media to cover up his numerous lies, as well as his sordid past. Obamabots clearly support that idea.

As an independent, both parties disgust me. But what's truly amazing is how many people still carry water for the most corrupt, least transparent administration in this country's history. I would like nothing more than to see the media turn on this idiot we have in the White House, but seeing as how they were complicit in getting him in the White House, I don't think we'll see that.

You forgot to add in this administration. If they don't know the names they cannot punish those who expose them. As they time after time have at least attempted to punish whistleblowers and the press that publishes what they find.
