I don’t know if other news outlets are picking this up or if ABC’s Brian Ross is going to do a follow-up to put more flesh on the story. But far and away the most important story out there right now is Ross’s report that claims that the administration is scrutinizing journalists’ phone records to find out who their sources are.
Only a major news organization will have the clout to do it. But someone needs to run this to ground, either to find out more details or to disprove it. If it’s true, it puts us a big notch further down the creeping police state road. And we already passed the toll booth a while ago.
If anybody sees press follow-ups on this or knows anything more about it, please contact me.
Late Update: I’m told there’s going to be more on this story tonight on ABC World News Tonight.
