As
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated well, "[w]hen a free
media is in jeopardy, all other human rights are also threatened." The
First Amendment's protection for the freedom of the press guards
Americans' ability to freely express their positions and opinions in the
media. It is supposed to allow them to investigate and criticize the
government without fear of government interference. This freedom is
fundamental to the health of our republic.
So it is not surprising that news of intrusive actions by the Obama administration, including tracking the movement and private e-mails of a Fox News reporter, stirred outrage across the ideological spectrum. Even the usually left-leaning Huffington Post told its followers on Twitter that "this is one time when you should be siding with Fox News."
