Every presidential administration fears leaks, but few are as dedicated to stopping the flow of information as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
An important scoop byPolitico reporters Alex Isenstadt and Annie Karni revealed that Spicer has resorted to "random phone checks of White House staffers, overseen by White House attorneys."
The White House communications team could have simply denied the story. But what fun would that be? Instead, six hours after the Politico article, the conservative Washington Examiner—that bastion of fair and balanced—published an article smearing the Politico reporters headlined, "Claim: Reporter laughs at Trump aide's emotion over SEAL death."
The Examiner claimed that Isenstadt had mocked Spicer's emotional response to Navy SEAL Ryan Owens' death in a botched raid in Yemen.
