Press Not Happy

The press is not happy with President Obama right now. His justice department crossed the line when they started looking for a leak in the press. Its started with the AP getting mad at the justice department for going through its phone records without consent and now a fox news journalist. I do agree with the press when it comes to the federal government just barging in demanding answers without a warrant. There is a fine line between national security and our constitutional rights, freedom of the press is there for a reason, to hold the government accountable for its actions. That goes for Democrat or Republican administrations. So if President Obama is serious about constitutional rights and wants to get his credibility back with the press he needs to pass the Journalist Shield Law.
