BEFORE AP: DOJ TARGETED FOX NEWS' JAMES ROSEN

The Obama Administration, which has pursued more cases involving leaks from the government to the press than all other administrations combined, has been acting in this fashion since 2009, well before the current AP scandal. A case in point is the case of Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, who was a State Department arms expert with security clearance, and his leaks to James Rosen of Fox News.

Gov't obtains wide AP phone records in probe

The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.

AP: 'OBAMA LIMITS MEDIA IN WAYS NO PAST ADMINISTRATION WOULD'VE DARED'

Nothing's funnier than the media whining about how Obama treats them. What the media does not seem to understand is that Obama treats them this way for one simple reason: because he can. Obama knows the media will never do anything to damage him politically. That assurance gives the president enormous latitude when it comes to how he does anything and everything, including how he handles the press.
