Unless and until the administration starts rounding up journalists and publicly executing them, journalists may p!$$ and whine a bit about losing their "freedom", but as long as it's the Democrats who are abusing them, they're going to be like a battered spouse when the cops show up - "But deep down he really loves me".
If it a Republican administration had taken their phone records, that would have been the number one news story for a YEAR. These pukes deserve whatever abuse they get from the government.
