I pointed this out yesterday in a comment, but here’s Ed Morrissey:

Who is Freddoso, anyway?  [Frodo's bigger brother?--ed.]  David Freddoso had the temerity to commit actual journalism in investigating Barack Obama’s record in public life.  That resulted in his book, The Case Against Barack Obama, which has apparently angered The One to the point where he believes Freddoso shouldn’t get a chance to speak in public.  Like with Kurtz, who committed the sin of journalism in attempting to get the records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge released, Obama has spewed invective at Freddoso for daring to dissent in print.

Where is the rest of the media on this?  It’s the second time in three weeks that the campaign itself has organized a brute squad to intimidate journalists into silence.  This kind of insane, hysterical reaction to criticism is apparently what we can expect from an Obama administration, and the rest of the media seems content to allow it.

We worry about the Fairness Doctrine.  It appears that an Obama administration would be more comfortable with encouraging mobs to intimidate critics into silence.  Hope and change, indeed.
