Angry White House press corps presses Carney over DOJ snooping

Posted Monday, May 20th 2013 @ 3pm

The White House press corps posed several angry questions to Obama administration spokesperson Jay Carney about the James Rosen case in his daily briefing Monday. The Washington Post revealed Sunday that Rosen, who works for the Fox News Channel, had been the target of unusual surveillance by the Department of Justice, which treated his reports on North Korea as potential crimes against national security.

Showing unusual fight, reporters such as Jonathan Karl of ABC News and Major Garrett of CBS News were visibly angry as they challenged Carney’s evasive responses. Carney refused to condemn or comment on the way in which the Department of Justice had treated Rosen, other than to emphasize President Barack Obama’s general support for the First Amendment and to stress that the case was an ongoing criminal investigation.

Major Garrett worked with James Rosen when he was at Fox News. Glad a few people spoke out.

Carney better hope Obama doesn't watch the news tomorrow or he might find out about this press briefing. .

I also see the Obamas as a reprise of "Bébé Doc Duvalier (absolute despots)

"The One who was going to stop the oceans from rising; the One who said

“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.” - Barack Obama, 2007, as quoted by Patrick Gaspard

That is so outlandish, I had to repost part of your post.

He reads the telepromter better than most, too...
