I am reminded of a story told to me by the son of an actor in the 30-50's. His stunt double was caught in the act with another women. I mean caught by his wife in the bed doing the deed. He got up & told his wife you did not see what you just saw.

He got away with it. Obama reminds me of that person & the MSM as the wife..

As to why that is, I cannot say...

There is no "MSM." You must understand this. The Democrat Party is the political operations wing of the MSM/Academic axis.

Let's remember, Lanny Davis is claiming similar treatment.

Further, the defense of the email writer is that he was warning Woodward, as a friend, that he was about to regret it because he was getting the story wrong.

Well, that's just not true. The story is Obama lied, lied, and Lied. Obama made out he was trying to protect the American people from the Evil Republicans, when the plan came out of the Oval Office. Woodward was saying Obama was going overboard and over-the-top with dire predictions of his own secret plan that has relatively small cuts.

So how was Woodward getting the story wrong? He wasn't.

So he was being told that he'll regret telling the Truth.

Even More Threats From Obama Administration Emerge

First Bob Woodward, then Lanny Davis.

Now Ron Fournier of the National Journal reports being verbally abused and threatened by a “senior advisor”.

The official angered by my Woodward tweet sent me an indignant e-mail. “What’s next, a Nazi analogy?” the official wrote, chastising me for spreading “bull**** like that” I was not offended by the note, mild in comparison to past exchanges with this official. But it was the last straw in a relationship that had deteriorated.

As editor-in-chief of National Journal, I received several e-mails and telephone calls from this White House official filled with vulgarity, abusive language, and virtually the same phrase that Politico characterized as a veiled threat. “You will regret staking out that claim,” TheWashington Post reporter was told.

Ron Fournier, hardly an attacker of Obama, can’t seem to bring himself to doubt Obama, saying in his article,”there is no reason to doubt Obama’s integrity — period”. He can’t bring himself to accept that Obama could condone this: “This can’t be what Obama wants. He must not know how thin-skinned and close-minded his staff can be to criticism.”

Yet, the growing tide of evidence makes it very clear that there is a pattern.

USA Today also contributed to the tide today :

“All we can say is: We know more than a few reporters have received similar e-mails [to those of Woodward] from White House officials. Yelling has also been known to happen.”

These allegations of mistreatment by Obama advisors are not entirely new either.

Last year, in June, Lanny Davis went on record on a radio program, accusing the Obama campaign of having “vicious people” working for the President, ”There is a very serious problem within the Obama campaign and you’ve just described it. It may be melt down unless they come to their senses.”

In October 2012, the President of the South Suburban Branch of the NAACP, David Lowery, alleges a director of the re-election campaign of Barack Obama, Louis Raymond, threatened and intimidated him because he didn’t support the president. The Obama OFA campaign official allegedly told him, “You know what? I know everything about you.”

Lowery says Raymond added, “We’ve been watching you, and since you don’t support Obama, we’ll deal with you,” before hanging up.

Lowery filed a report with the Oak Forest police report, he said, “in case something happens.”

He says it was suggested the NAACP should automatically back the president. Lowery notes a non-profit cannot support a particular candidate.

The Obama campaign characterized that interchange as a matter of “miscommunication.”

That's Important.


And it makes no sense for the email writer to be warning Woodward that he would be regretting his story because he was getting it wrong - because the Facts are on Woodward's side.

Woodward was simply willing to state a Fact that others in the media would not - that Obama birthed the Sequestration, lied to the American people, and then made Fake, dire, over-the-top productions predicting horrible tragedy.

This story shows Obama believes the American People are stupid and the Press will stand by and let him craft any fake production no matter how ludicrious.

If Woodward is Senile, as Obama's Senior Staff claims, then what does that say about Obama's spokespeople, past and present.

Woodward is more cogent than every one of them.

Kind of wild how fast the Press Corps ran out the idea that Woodward is Old, Senile, and Out of Touch, all while repeatedly telling us his age.

Ask yourself how Crazy Joe Biden has avoided these monikers and harsh opinions in the media.

If you don't worship Obama, there is Hell to Pay.

I think the operative wording in that email is not the "regret" portion, but this: My apologies again for raising my voice on the call with you. Feel bad about that and truly apologize.

This clown apologized twice. So there was a raised voice, and heaven only knows what nasty name calling and threats.

Yes, exactly! If Woodward is old and senile, Crazy Joe should have been committed
to a mental ward or insane asylum a long time ago.

Exactly!


If one of Bush's inner circle had written that, the focus would be on - Ah, ha!- he admits to his arrogance and intimidation.

Journalists as Ring Wraiths
When you’ve got a country to transform, any caviling is disloyalty.

(Note From J.R.R. Tolkien, Ringwraith (fantasy character), in Lord of the Rings.They were nine Men who succumbed to Sauron's power and attained near-immortality as wraiths, servants bound to the power of the One Ring)

By Victor Davis Hanson

Today’s Washington journalists are like J. R. R. Tolkien’s ring wraiths, petty lords who wanted a few shiny golden Obama rings — only to end up as shrunken slaves to the One.

The Bob Woodward/Ron Fournier/Lanny Davis psychodrama is another small reminder that the Obama administration continues to assume that the press should be little more than a veritable Ministry of Truth. Its proper duty is to serve the White House and promote the progressive agenda of Barack Obama. Any were considered suspect who questioned whether those exalted ends should really be achieved by any means necessary — but they were so few and far between that it mattered little.

Woodward, Fournier, and Davis, in their surprise at the general paranoia of the Obama administration, must think that freelancing White House zealots are tarnishing the reputation of their president, who, given his own predilections, would otherwise not countenance such clumsy intimidation of journalists.

In fact, there are plenty of reasons to assume that Barack Obama has established the tenor and methodology of press relations from the very outset of his administration, characterized by expectations of unfailing support, coupled with a general vindictiveness toward his few critics among the press corps. In the past, Obama’s habit of leaking the divorce records of opponents, his calls for supporters to confront opponents and “get in their face,” petty threats in St. Louis by prosecutors against any who might say untrue things about Obama, and successful pressure to keep unpublished the Obama speech praising the radical Palestinian-American Rashid Khalidi were not even news, but usually written off as the normal pro-Obama zeal. Obama alone could not have elevated The View to a supposedly serious 60 Minutes–type news show — and reduced 60 Minutes to the inanity of The View.

The former White House communications director, Anita Dunn, once (among other astounding declarations) denounced Fox News as essentially an illegitimate news network, “Obviously [the president] will go on Fox because he engages with ideological opponents. He has done that before and he will do it again. . . . When he goes on Fox he understands he is not going on it as a news network at this point. He is going on it to debate the opposition.”

But that was not freelancing on Dunn’s part. Obama himself later went after Fox directly, in a manner that might be characterized as preemptive bullying: “I think what we really have to do is change some of the incentive structures so that people feel liberated to pursue some common ground. One of the biggest factors is going to be how the media shapes debates. If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you’ll see more of them doing it.”

Note the key phrase “is not punished.” “Punish” is a favorite word of Barack Obama’s (as in “punish our enemies”), and he assumes both that his opponents have the same mindset that he does, and that there is a way to stop a news organization from doing something he does not like. You see, in the Chicago organizing mind of Barack Obama, elected officials never act on principle, but only adopt positions in relationship to the likelihood of being punished or not punished. And note too that “common ground” is always defined by Obama as his own ideological turf....snipped
