President Obama<\/a> learned politics in Chicago. Unfortunately, he brought Chicago-style politics<\/a> into the White House with him. We have seen uneven justice from the Justice Department<\/a> (rightwinggranny.com<\/a>), using the IRS<\/a> to target political opponents (rightwinggranny.com<\/a>), and general thuggery toward anyone who disagrees with him. Fox Reporter James Rosen’s rights were violated by the Obama Administration<\/a>, and now additional information has come out about how reporters that did not report what they were told to report were treated.<\/p>\n

Greta Van Susteren<\/a> posted information on her blog, Gretawire<\/a>, about the treatment of Fox News<\/a> by the Obama Administration. She tells of two major meetings held first by the State Department and then the CIA<\/a> with the press regarding Benghazi where Fox News was not invited.<\/p>\n

She then recounts her own experience with a friend in the Obama Administration:<\/p>\n

And then as I was sitting at my desk\u00a0thinking about the reporting since September 2012, I thought about the weirdest of all and\u00a0the worst of all for me personally! \u00a0I remembered a disturbing phone call from a good friend in the Obama Administration. \u00a0I have known this friend for years. \u00a0The call was a short time after 9\/11 (maybe Oct. 2012?) In the call, my friend\u00a0told me that my colleague Jennifer Griffin<\/a>, who was aggressively reporting on Benghazi, was wrong and that, as a favor to me, my friend in the Administration was telling me so that I could tell Jennifer so that she did not ruin her career. \u00a0 My friend was telling me to tell Jennifer to stop her\u00a0reporting. \u00a0Ruin her career? \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In 20 plus years, I have never received a call to try and shut down a colleague \u2013 not that I even could \u2013 this was a first. \u00a0 Here is what I know: \u00a0Jennifer is a class act\u2026.experienced..and a very responsible journalist. \u00a0One of the absolute best in the business \u2013 no axe to grind, she just wants the facts. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I told my friend before I go to Jennifer telling her she is wrong, \u00a0I need proof she is wrong, strong proof and you need to be specific \u00a0– what are you saying she is getting wrong? \u00a0We went around and around \u2014 including the statement again that this was just a call as a favor to Jennifer and me to save Jennifer\u2019s career from reporting incorrect information. \u00a0I got no proof. \u00a0Zero. \u00a0 I smelled a rat. \u00a0Favor to me? \u00a0Hardly. \u00a0My friend was trying to use me. \u00a0 I feel bad that a friend did that to me, tried to use me for a dirty reason. \u00a0 I knew then \u2014 and it is now confirmed by \u00a0BIPARTISAN Senate Intelligence Committee<\/a> \u2014 Jennifer was getting her facts right. \u00a0 I think it is really low for the Administration to stoop this low.

Stories like this are the reason we need alternative media during the Obama Administration.<\/p>\n
