White House threatens media crackdown

By Michelle Malkin • June 20, 2007 12:06 PM

Wow: “White House threatens to yank credentials from journalists who publish pics of new briefing room.” USA Today publishes the e-mail from a White House press staffer to the White House Correspondents Association:

Here’s the e-mail that Josh Deckard of the press office sent to the White House Correspondents Association:

If only they would get as tough on the MSM blabbermouths who have published classified information about the war and our homeland security programs…

I may just be trying to be optimistic here… but it’s a start, right?

This seems drastic, like they are hiding something. Are they using illegal alien day laborers or something?

I can remember watching the 2004 Republican Convention. I was excited about President Bush.

He doesn’t excite me anymore.
