A Genuine Journalist in MSM: Jack Tapper (Vs. Jay Carney)

Jake Tapper of ABC News is an unusual journalist; he has questioned the Obama administration, and, in particular, on the matter of the suppression of journalistic freedoms stateside.

Via Media(somethingoranother):

At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney praised the journalists (Marie Colvin, Rémi Ochlik and Anthony Shadid) recently killed covering the violent unrest in Syria. ABC News’ Jake Tapper then asked Carney about the discrepancy between how the Obama administration treats journalism internationally versus domestically.
The White House “keeps praising these journalists who’ve been killed,” Tapper said, but that is inconsistent with the administration’s actions within the U.S. He asked, “How does that square with the fact that this administration has been so aggressively trying to stop aggressive journalism in the United States by using the Espionage Act to take whistleblowers to court?”
Tapper went on to detail how “this is the sixth time you’re suing a CIA officer for allegedly providing information in 2009 about CIA torture. Certainly that’s something that’s in the public interest of the United States.” Previously, the act had only been used three times in history.
Plainly, Tapper stated, “There just seems to be disconnect here. You want aggressive journalism abroad; you just don’t want it in the United States.”

Tapper has a history of “subversion.”

    Why would anyone be upset about restricting journalists?

    These LINKS are evidence that no matter what is written about horrific incidents, it’s only ignored words being printed. So, what’s the concern if the Federal Government – POTUS et al – wants to suppress “aggressive journalism” in the U.S.? Nobody reads it. Nobody is concerned. Nobody believes things can be changed. Nobody is involved.

    HEY! LET’S GO GET THE NEW NIKE B-B SHOES!!! COOL.
