Are people really stupid enough to buy this nonsense?? Yes they are. As if this admin follows the law to begin with. Liberals are destroying the country by the day with ignorance.
"WASHINGTON — The Obama administration sought on Wednesday to revive legislation that would provide greater protections to reporters from penalties for refusing to identify confidential sources, and that would enable journalists to ask a federal judge to quash subpoenas for their phone records, a White House official said."

So you think reporters should have to identify their sources no matter what?
I think this whole "push" for this law that wasn't passed in what was it '09 is complete BS to get folks like YOU to scream and howl at what a great job dear leader is now doing to protect the "whistleblowers". In reality they despise whistleblowers and would drone them into the earth if possible. Of course that may upset the green weenies. Oh the dance dear leader has to do to appease the loons that are liberals.
The official said that President Obama’s Senate liaison, Ed Pagano, called Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, who is a chief proponent of a so-called media shield law, on Wednesday morning and asked him to reintroduce a bill that he had pushed in 2009. Called the Free Flow of Information Act, the bill was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a bipartisan 15-to-4 vote in December 2009. But while it was awaiting a floor vote, a furor over leaking arose after WikiLeaks began publishing archives of secret government documents, and the bill never received a vote.
So, exactly what is your problem here, I mean, separate from hating the President.
