AP boss: Our sources now ‘fear they will be monitored by the government’

◼ The Justice Department’s secretive snooping on AP reporters was not just a personal violation of privacy, but in fact a threat to their ability to do their jobs and a threat to everyone’s ability to report on the Obama administration. - David Freddoso/ConservativeIntel.com

Gary Pruitt, AP’s CEO confirmed on CBS Face the Nation Sunday that in fact, his organization is already finding government sources are more reluctant to talk to them now because of what happened....

Pruitt also didn’t rule out the idea that the seizures were an act of revenge. After holding a story about a thwarted terror attack for five days because of the government’s concerns over a national security threat, the AP insisted on publishing right away once it learned from government sources that the threat was gone. This stole some thunder from the White House, which wanted to draw attention at an event crowing about the victory the following day.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire.

...Eric Bolling of The Five said it well the other night: “Can we simply have the truth?” A simple question. What may extinguish the flames is the truth. You know it as well as I do.

Grab some popcorn, folks. Pull up a chair. Get yourself a 6 pack. No … a 12pack and join with me and other liberty-minded folks as we watch the Left finally sink their comedic and inquisitive teeth into the rotted flesh of the Hope & Crap Machine that we’ve been caterwauling about for the last five, seems like twenty, years.
