Saving Journalism from the Journalists

Saving Journalism from the Journalists: It has been eleven years since investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson first revealed that Barack Obama’s government was illegally spying on her.  Although she has pursued the matter doggedly in court, no high-ranking Obama administration officials have ever been held accountable.  The incident remains remarkable not only because it laid bare another instance in which Obama’s administration engaged in unlawful, unconstitutional, and unethical conduct (remember when Attorney General Eric Holder got caught arming international drug cartels in Operation Fast and Furious for reasons that only he could justify?), but also because the silence from the American press corps was deafening.
