Homeland Security to compile database of journalists, media influencers

Now this...this is scary:

"The Department of Homeland Security posted a contract request this week for "Media Monitoring Services," which will compile a database of hundreds of thousands of journalists, bloggers and "media influencers" for the federal government. After an outcry on social media, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman tweeted "this is nothing more than the standard practice of monitoring current events in the media."

The work request from DHS seeks a firm that has the ability to monitor up to 290,000 global news sources; ability to track media coverage in up to 100 languages and the ability to "track online, print, broadcast, cable, radio, trade and industry publications, local sources, national/international outlets, traditional news sources, and social media."

The work request also seeks the ability to build lists of journalists based on beat, location, outlet type/size and journalist role. Creating an online "media influence database" is also included.

DHS spokesman Tyler Q. Houlton tweeted that "despite what some reporters may suggest," this is "standard."

"Any suggestion otherwise is fit for tin foil hat wearing, black helicopter conspiracy theorists," Houlton wrote.

Responses are due April 13.

The news comes amid attacks on the media by President Trump, who frequently calls mainstream media outlets "fake news." Watchdog organization Freedom House said in its 2017 press freedom report that global media freedom has reached its lowest level in 13 years -- including attacks by Mr. Trump.

"But it is the far-reaching attacks on the news media and their place in a democratic society by Donald Trump, first as a candidate and now as president of the United States, that fuel predictions of further setbacks in the years to come," the report said. "

Wow!
The Obama Administration and the Press
There’s no question that sources are looking over their shoulders,” Michael Oreskes, a senior managing editor of The Associated Press, told me months after the government, in an extensive leak investigation, secretly subpoenaed and seized records for telephone lines and switchboards used by more than 100 AP reporters in its Washington bureau and elsewhere. “Sources are more jittery and more standoffish, not just in national security reporting. A lot of skittishness is at the more routine level. The Obama administration has been extremely controlling and extremely resistant to journalistic intervention. There’s a mind-set and approach that holds journalists at a greater distance.”

Washington Post national security reporter Rajiv Chandrasekaran, a member of CPJ’s board of directors, told me that “one of the most pernicious effects is the chilling effect created across government on matters that are less sensitive but certainly in the public interest as a check on government and elected officials. It serves to shield and obscure the business of government from necessary accountability.

Huh. What's a 'Zionist'? They 'control' the media? How so? To what end? Where does the Tri-lateral commission come in? Are Masons Zionists? Do they put voices in your head?
Other than Arabs..does anyone really care about the Jews? *yawn*

This fails as a red herring fallacy.

The thread topic is about Homeland Security seeking to compile a database of journalists and media influencers, not ‘Obama.’

But your failed attempt to deflect is understandable.

LoL...well..if you got your partisan head out of your ass...would see that all govt.s do this..and that it's a problem. Politicians come and go...Govt. is always there.

We used to have some protections..now we have very few..unless we start becoming aware about our right to an unfettered media--and one that is factually honest-- and take steps to protect it.

Yes, I do think our culture wars have made it worse. We've weaponized our communications and it is making us unstable as a society. IMO, of course.

Not in the USA, Comrade. Here in the nation you are waging war to destroy, the assault on freedom of the press began under the radical left regime of Barack Obama.

From the Communist site Alternet:

{It's hardly news that the Obama administration is intensely and, in many respects, unprecedentedly hostile toward the news-gathering process. Even the most Obama-friendly journals have warned of what they call "Obama's war on whistleblowers". James Goodale, the former general counsel of the New York Times during its epic fights with the Nixon administration, recently observed that "President Obama wants to criminalize the reporting of national security information" and added: "President Obama will surely pass President Richard Nixon as the worst president ever on issues of national security and press freedom."}

Obama's Attacks on Journalists are Worst Since Nixon
