White House Screams At Reporter

Seems like reporting scandal is a reporter’s job. But the White House apparently doesn’t agree with that. “The Fast and Furious scandal, in which the Justice Department knowingly gave Mexican criminal gangs thousands of guns, just keeps escalating. The latest development centers around whether or not Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress about having knowledge of the controversial gun trafficking operation. Recently released documents say Holder was briefed about the operation long before he told the Judiciary Committee he was first aware of what was going on (Holder now claims he misunderstood the question that was being asked) . What's more, CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson -- who's been covering the scandal from the beginning -- says in an interview on the Laura Ingraham Show today that the White House and Justice Department have taken to screaming at her for reporting on the story.” This administration is coming very close to “coming apart at the seams” if they “scream at” a reporter for covering the story about one of the biggest scandals involving the White House in this administration.
