Holder, in an attempt
to stamp out the media fires surrounding his position as head of the Department
of Justice, has called for an “off the
record” (code for “secret") meeting with members of the press. In a misguided effort to encourage
attendance, the Obama Administration has
warned those not in attendance, that
their absence will preclude any complaints as to future treatment or
mistreatment.
The New York Times and the Associated Press have both
responded with “not interested,”
and, will not be in
attendance unless the meeting is held in the open and "on the record."
This, as the DOJ scandal of secret media document
seizures expands from 100 to “several thousands” in news revelations of the
past two days.
It appears that Obama's quest for controlling the media has blown up in his face, and this with a compliant media that was "in his back pocket."
