Someone at Reuters sure wants to be on the Justice Department’s “do not spy on” list. There are plenty of ways to title this article on the Obama administration’s AP scandal, but if the White House had its way (and who’s to say it didn’t?), this wording gets it just right without venturing too far into “Dear Leader” territory.
The press can’t always hold a megaphone up to the president’s mouth, but Reuters certainly gave it their best shot.
