The "Plumbers" are alive and well and working at DOJ.

I have some snarky comments about registering journalists like guns, no one needs more than seven phone lines, and background checks need to done on reporters before they can publish a story.   Nah....

TL/DR:  DOJ obtains two months of AP's phone records. The DOJ denies it listened to any calls, only got the numbers of incoming and outgoing calls.

If this doesn't turn the MSM into rabid attack dogs going after the administration, I'm not sure what will.

I sense MSM has achieved blood lust.  It is one thing to monitor patriots and TEA party types.  Whole different matter to snoop on our esteemed main stream media.  Tyranny is not enough to poke our media into action.  It is tyranny targeted on our precious media that will create the howls of protest.  Howls I find surprisingly hollow.  Fed.gov just exposed itself for what it is; MSM did the same. 

My comments to the MSM are succinct:  Karma's a bitch, ain't it?  You people are contemptible.

The only thing more important to the MSM than its ideological bias is survival. The last week has so damaged the media's credibility, exposing how they've been manipulated by the administration while rolling over for it, that they may actually respond critically. We'll see.

Calm down you media folks, no one is trying to take away your free speech! Your first amendment right to recite poetry and sing non-religion specific hymns shall not be infringed! You're just being paranoid!
