If they put out their own material, it’s state-run media..."
If you've somehow been convinced Watergate reporting legend Bob Woodward was mistaken in thinking he'd been threatened by the Obama regime -perhaps by the gaggle of Obammunist hacks lining up to trash him- think again: now that such an honorable source has come out and exposed Team Obama for the punks they are, more victims are going public (thus sure

Bob Woodward has unleashed the floodgates: liberal media is finally admitting the truth about the Obama administration's lack of respect for the freedom of the press.
In addition to Woodward, correspondents Lanny Davis, Bill Plante, Neil Munro, Ron Fournier, David Brody, Conor Friedersdorf, and others have expressed their concern and disbelief regarding the administration's fascistic mindset: ...“I had a young reporter asking tough, important questions of an Obama Cabinet secretary,” says one DC veteran. “She was doing her job, and they were trying to bully her. In an e-mail, they called her the vilest names — bitch, c--t, a--hole.”He complained and was told the matter would be investigated: “They were hemming and hawing, saying, ‘We’ll look into it.’ Nothing happened.”...
Besides serial abuse of reporters not satisfied with spoon-fed WH statements, there's also an issue with access in general, as in the case of last month's Tiger Woods golf outing, with ZERO press in attendance- whatsa matter Barack, afraid of an awkward pic of you hanging with some perverted scumbag?
Then last Thursday, the swearing-in of Commerce Secretary Jack Lew was conducted in secret, with not even a photographer present. When asked 'why', WH spokesdrone Jay Carney actually said -with a straight face- 'It's a family affair' (Corleone!)
But for WH staff to call a reporter every 4-letter word in the book... simply for doing her job, the inalienable right to which being enshrined in our Constitution?
WTF indeed...
