Have you heard the latest? The DOL is putting an end to reporters using their own computers/laptops/internet (which they have been using for years in the White House) and to decimate the out-putting of information to US, the People of the United States of America or anyone, thereof; by justifying those actions because "they say" there were "2" cases of "leaks" which (supposedly) involved fraud in the jobless numbers in the past. Where is the evidence? Why have they not provided this? They are quite mum.

They did say that "they would not be providing internet access." Yeah, right! Take all control of computers and web browsers, but yet, to exacerbate this inane policy and then on the same face to try and appease those that report doesn't make any sense.

The DOL said, that they will "tear" out the existing reporting news agencies' computers/wiring/installations and then install government same in order to prevent "leaks." Now, the leaks that supposedly were referenced have not been substantiated by the Department of Labor. Incidentally, who the heck do "they" think they are to do this and trounce on the First Amendment? Freedom of the Press? Come on!

Lastly, the DOL has also stated that they have 20-30 "exclusive" slots of "new" government computers to be used specifically by news agencies and that the DOL will have the sole right to pick/dole out those slots to certain news agencies. How does that grab ya, eh? Yikes.

What say you in re: of this? As always, feel free to leave a comment. Thank you.

Oh, I know there will be naysayers...pffftttttt~

By the way, this report was seen on Fox on 4/16/12, I have tried to locate same and cannot, if anyone can or has seen this, please let me know. Thanks~

Wow...I wish I could say this surprises me but it doesn't .....I guess my reaction is why has it taken them so long. hmmmmmmm....maybe because some of the devoted are questioning the great "o".
Yes you will hear from the devoted who are so stupefied that they will cry that is false...a lie. Well, they will fall in this system called communism if it is allowed to continue...the poor sheeple.

No the LSM will not say anything nor report for they are the favored news agencies, more specifically the AP. We know how they roll. It's happening. It's a flank is what it is for SOPA. Just another way to disseminate and further spread their BS commie propaganda.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste and this Commie-in-Chief has certainly exemplified same, along with its robotic sheeple and cozying up to our enemies who swore to be enemies to our Country first. This is happening. The naysayers can say all they want, for I am happy that they will all be plugged in together and have a nice flush with the Tidy Bowl Pollies.

From the Examiner;
"Department of Labor spokesman Carl Fillichio refuses to explain what specifically prompted his decision to force journalists participating in "lockups" to receive new jobless and unemployment data in advance to stop using their own computers and begin using government computers."

This only concerns DOL..

http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/...

DOL maintains two lock-up rooms to allow credentialed news organizations to prepare informed summaries and analysis of economic data for transmission to the general public as soon as embargo periods conclude. These are referred to as the News Room and the Television Lock-up. Advance copies of certain DOL news releases produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) are made available under lock-up conditions with the explicit understanding that economic data are embargoed until 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Lock-ups provide press the opportunity to read, review, ask questions about and compose coverage of the data..

Get a life people.
