AG Eric Holder and the Press

When I see headlines referring to Attorney General Eric Holder (Obama's right-hand liar or, if you wish, misleader, perjurer, hitman, etc.) as the "AG," I think of the AG products building at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Grilled Cheese, baked potatoes, maple cotton candy, Usinger brats on pretzel buns with kraut, ice cream sundaes, dried cranberries dipped in dark chocolate on a stick--



Thank you, media.

About Eric Holder's meeting with the "FREE" press:

Attorney General Eric Holder's plans to sit down with media representatives to discuss guidelines for handling investigations into leaks to the news media have run into trouble.

The Associated Press issued a statement Wednesday objecting to plans for the meetings to be off the record. "If it is not on the record, AP will not attend and instead will offer our views on how the regulations should be updated in an open letter," said Erin Madigan White, the AP's media relations manager.

The New York Times is taking the same position. "It isn't appropriate for us to attend an off-the-record meeting with the attorney general," executive editor Jill Abramson said in a statement.

Like the New York Times and the Associated Press, CNN will decline the invitation for an off-the-record meeting. A CNN spokesperson says if the meeting with the attorney general is on the record, CNN would plan to participate.

The Huffington Post's Washington bureau chief, Ryan Grim, also said he will not attend unless the meeting is on the record. "A conversation specifically about the freedom of the press should be an open one. We have a responsibility not to betray that," Grim told CNN.

It is absurd to have a meeting about freedom of the press that is off-the-record.

It's especially ridiculous to publicize the meeting.

The Obama administration is fumbling like crazy.

Do the Leftist media deserve credit for refusing to be lapdogs for Obama?

Too soon to tell if they will show some real independence and quit the disgrace of being an arm of the Obama administration.

The Leftist media may soon return to the cozy confines of Obama's lap.
