Eric, Nation of Cowards, Holder's Huddle With Media On Press Freedom Will Be...Off The Record..
Yeah, that's the ticket:
Gut-check time for the press: If they’re truly offended by the DOJ’s secret snooping on James Rosen and the AP, they won’t agree to attend Holder’s gladhanding session unless/until he agrees to make it on the record, right?

POTUS asked AG to review how leak investigations are done but some in the media refuse to meet with him. Kind of forfeits your right gripe.
