Sorry guys, I wasn't trying to start a political debate on HN. I was just stating the fact that most of the media sources mentioned in the comment I was responding to are very much pro-Obama administration. That could conceivably affect their decision not to report on cases like this that simply can't be spun in a positive light. Regardless of what party is in power, if they are committing acts against US citizens that are wrong, they need to be publicly called on the carpet for it.

They aren't pro-Obama, they're just pro-whoever's-in-power. It's called "access journalism," and is both inherently political and super lame.
