FBI Director Robert Mueller and Attorney General
Eric Holder
News broke recently that the FBI and IRS have been spying on and
harassing journalists for being outspoken in their reporting, via
matters that were deemed as having criticized the government. Over the
past few weeks, the nation and world has witnessed as the government
was exposed for using the FBI and IRS to spy on, intimidate and harass
journalists from CBS, Fox and the Associated Press, among others, for
engaging in one's constitutional right to free press and free speech.
Newsgathering and reporting must be based in truth and integrity, free
from harassment and intimidation tactics by an overly sensitive
government, seeking to keep its unlawful secrets hidden.
Eric Holder and Robert Mueller
Journalists help keep governments honest by openly providing
constructive criticism via thought provoking pieces, regarding policy
and protocol. Journalists are also arbiters of truth, providing a
public service that educates and enlightens. No thin-skinned
bureaucrats sensitive to criticism and prone to covering up corruption,
while being paid with taxpayer money, has the authority to strip anyone
of their constitutional rights.
