The author comments on attempts made by the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama to stifle journalists. The Obama administration has declared that its critics at Fox News Channel are not real journalists, and that Fox is not a legitimate news organization. A similar attempt was experienced by some student journalists in Cook County, Illinois who have come under fire from prosecutors who are not happy with their habit of turning up evidence that defendants have been wrongly convicted.
