So media, had enough yet?

As a long standing member of the "leave-me-alone-small-(l)-libertarian" caucus, I have long given up on what goes for a the 4th Estate and all its statist enabling - I'm in a state of political self-exile if you will.

It seems however - let's just ignore the idol worship of the last half-decade - that a combination of obvious lying over Benghazi with no kidding blood on their hands due to the dozens of deaths worldwide after they advertised the youtube video as cover - and the IRS openly acting in a partisan manner, that we finally might have something wakening in the ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/AP core; heck WaPo and NYT might even come out to play.

I do know this; if the above two incidents took place in a Republican administration, the media would literally be going apesh1t.

If anything was holding them back; maybe this will break the seal;

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 incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP.

The government would not say why it sought the records. U.S. officials have previously said in public testimony that the U.S. attorney in Washington is conducting a criminal investigation into who may have leaked information contained in a May 7, 2012, AP story about a foiled terror plot. The story disclosed details of a CIA operation in Yemen that stopped an al-Qaida plot in the spring of 2012 to detonate a bomb on an airplane bound for the United States.

The May 7, 2012, AP story that disclosed details of the CIA operation in Yemen to stop an airliner bomb plot occurred around the one-year anniversary of the May 2, 2011, killing of Osama bin Laden.

The plot was significant because the White House had told the public it had "no credible information that terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, are plotting attacks in the U.S. to coincide with the (May 2) anniversary of bin Laden's death."

The AP delayed reporting the story at the request of government officials who said it would jeopardize national security. Once government officials said those concerns were allayed, the AP disclosed the plot because officials said it no longer endangered national security. The Obama administration, however, continued to request that the story be held until the administration could make an official announcement.

Seriously ... would any reporter at AP use a land-line in 2013 to communicate with source? Heck, even 'ole Sal only communicates with some of his sources using IP based communication through ... well ... I won't share more. Let's just say, my spies seem to be a bit more protected than AP's sources ... and I never ever even get near classified information.

Pathetic. Lesson learned - send your UNCLAS scoops to 'ole Sal.

In a larger sense, when will the media decide that the Constitution that gives them the freedom they enjoy, is more important to making people happy so they get invited to the right parties?
