It isn’t a war on leaks.
It is a war on investigative journalism.
It is a war on anyone who finds out anything that disagrees with the narrative.
It is a war on journalists who at this point appear to be so dazed and dazzled by this very evident attempt to undermine and destroy the free media.
The media is complicit in creating itself into a propaganda arm of the Progressives. They have no one to blame but themselves at this point.
“No experiment can be more interesting than that we are now trying, and which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed by reason and truth. Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to him all the avenues to truth. The most effectual hitherto found, is the freedom of the press. It is, therefore, the first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions.”
—Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Tyler, 1804
