Anyone got any problems with the articles about government operations in the newspapers, or with what the government has said about them? Aka, the article that disclosed the government's following of the financial data of "terrorists". Or the incident with Google. Or when Congress found out its information from the newspaper instead of... from the President?

The congressional Intellegence Oversight Commitee was updated constantly on the activities in question. Providing confidential information to anyone (including the press) is a felony and could be treason. pretecting the identity of a felony is not prtected by the first amendment.

I think the press sucks for doing those things. They have no right to disclose those things. It puts the governments operations in danger.
They are so stupid!

Yeah...most media is biased.
Another thing, they dont need to be broadcasting everything the US is doing, planning or thinking. How foolish to broadcast to the world and the moronic masses our strategies for dealing with subjects that you can not even begin to understand. Yes...let's let the media broadcast out military strategies, INTEL ops ETC all across the airwaves for everyone to see.
Sheesh. Wake up.
