Jay Ambrose is an op-ed columnist for Tribune News Service. Readers may email him at speaktojay@aol.com.

Three different titles for the same editorial.

Obama was worse

"Obama was a man of action. His administration actually spied on reporters. It threatened them with jail if they did not reveal sources. It set a record in refusing to release government information requested by citizens."

'"A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington defended the DOJ's move, suggesting the department was allowed to secretly pull those records because of the ongoing nature of the criminal probe."

'"We must notify the media organization in advance unless doing so would pose a substantial threat to the integrity of the investigation," the office said, according to CNN. "Because we value the freedom of the press, we are always careful and deliberative in seeking to strike the right balance between the public interest in the free flow of information and the public interest in the fair and effective administration of our criminal laws." Matthew Miller, a former spokesman for Holder, told The Huffington Post that the DOJ's only other option would have been to subpoena the reporters."'

""This is how leaks get investigated," he said. "Leaking classified information is a crime, and there are usually only two parties who know who committed the crime, the leaker and the reporter. Getting access to phone records allows investigators to see who the possible source might have been and confront them with evidence of a crime."'

UPDATE: — White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, in a statement, said: "Other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP. We are not involved in decisions made in connection with criminal investigations, as those matters are handled independently by the Justice Department. Any questions about an ongoing criminal investigation should be directed to the Department of Justice."

'"And his verbal jabs at Fox News were just as vicious as Trump's jabs at the New York Times and CNN."'

'"If you watch Fox News, you are living on a different planet than you are if you are listening to NPR.”' - Barack Obama

2. Obama says Fox News viewers are living on 'different planet'

3. Obama Calls Out Fox News, Bill O'Reilly For Lying To America

'"Yet a comparison of Obama’s relationship with Fox News to the near-daily skirmishes between Trump and CNN highlights just how remarkable is Trump’s war on the mainstream media, how far outside the bounds of normal antagonisms between the White House and the men and women charged with covering it."'
