Armed agents seize records of reporter, Washington Times prepares legal action
2013-10-26
"Maryland state police and federal agents used a search warrant in an unrelated criminal investigation to seize the private reporting files of an award-winning former investigative journalist for The Washington Times who had exposed problems in the Homeland Security Department's Federal Air Marshal Service."
...hoping for the event horizon that will cause the Fourth Estate to become a little more objective...

#5  Are you a registered journalist? Papers, your papers please.

Smug writers saying their pen is mightier than the sword, but the State considers swords dangerous but not their pens? You lazy cows of intellectualist wordsmithing who carried water trashing Booosh must understand that while you feel you may have humped your rucksack of progressivism, you committed the sin of talking bad about the State and you will be purged by the next generation of KU keyboard pounders, other than a handful of iconic drunkard pundits to hash stories of the good olde days under Clinton. No pun intended.

#4  The Regime can't have investigative reporting in this country. Only the apparatchiks and MSM water carriers can report the Party message.

#3  "...but we're not the droids you're looking for!"

Smug self important scribes who abuse those Tea Party rubes warning about 'government being too big'. Hoping to be the last one the crocodile eats?

#1  So hopefully, this ends the practice of an investigative reporter, maintaining source related documents at one's residence. If it contains a classification marking of any type, leave it at the office in an approved storage container.
