Notice how the media always seems to have a coordinated message these days? Here’s where the message comes from.
There’s still some independence in the establishment media, but more often than not, with big national stories, an idea is crafted at Media Matters and then is sent around to newsrooms all over Washington DC and New York. These talking points are picked up by producers and reporters and then repeated. Last year The Daily Caller, a conservative website, charged that Media Matters acted essentially as a ministry of information for the current administration.
Associated Press Says U.S. Government Seized Journalists’ Phone Records
No big deal. Just the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of reporters and editors over a 2 month period. Nothing weird or intimidating about that.
Lanny Breuer Leaving DOJ for $4 Million/Year Job at Eric Holder’s (old and likely future) Law Firm
Man, that revolving door just keeps on turning. I am so glad to hear that the guy who deemed HSBC too “big to jail” is going back to be a white collar defense attorney. That he’s going back to defend the banks. I don’t see how a $4 million/year job could have influenced his tenure at Justice or anything.
Disappointing: Wallison of AEI says “Too big to jail!” cries are reflective of a “lynch mob mentality.”
Eric Holder Admits Some Banks Are Just Too Big To Prosecute (Holder worries he might be the fall guy)
Holder’s so concerned.

In Letter to Rand Raul Eric Holder Says the President IS Authorized Potentially to Use Drones Inside the US Against US Citizens.
Our Attorney General says this if things were sketchy enough a drone strike on American soil against a US citizen could be warranted. That whole due process thing? And the military not operating within the country? C’mon. Those ideas are so 20th century. You do know we have the NDAA right?
Just Leaked: A White Paper Outlining the Legal Case for Assassinating US Citizens Via Drone Strikes
This was obtained by NBC News. The NBC News chief was fired today. There is no indication that the 2 events are in any way related, but it must have been one busy day at NBC HQ.
This guy Holder is darn bold.
