Hmmm. I seem to recall something about a "journalist" that was reading questions from the wrong party's talking points, and the whole leftwinut formerly MSM complaining and making him the issue. It woulds like the media like to be their own censors when someone is not using the Democrat play book. You suggestion is not related to mine at all. When one media outlet actively publishes stories that harm the US, why should they be treated the same as responsible journalists? Remember that Dan Rather got so mad at President Bush 43 over the President's refusal to be interviewed by the king of bias that he made up a story to attack the President. By reading into your comment an implication that there should be no punishment for irresponsible journalism Guckert/Gannon and Rather would still be doing their respective (if disgusting) things.

In fact, why doesn't the WH revoke the credentials of all outlets that print stories they don't like. You seem to be missing something here or perhaps you're being deliberately obtuse................. It's not a case of this administration liking or not liking the story. It's a case of the security of all Americans. Information about this finance sniffer shouldn't have been released at all. Printing this story most likely has turned a highly useful tool against terrorism into junk...... Just what has the knowledge of the existence of this tool done for the American people? Judging from the reaction, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
