Associated Press Report (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/10/10/report-obama-administration-brings-chilling-effect-on-journalism/?intcmp=latestnews)

Downie interviewed numerous reporters and editors, including a top editor at The Associated Press, following revelations this year that the government secretly seized records for telephone lines and switchboards used by more than 100 AP journalists. Downie also interviewed journalists whose sources have been prosecuted on felony charges.

It has been my experience that this type of behavior occurs most often when one has things to hide.

This administration take a lot of cues from the Communist movement of the 20th century. Control the media, demonize anyone who speaks out against you, and use subterfuge at every term.
