First the Department of Justice was caught wiretapping and investigating journalists associated with news agencies critical of the president--let's not forget lying about it to Congress. Then the FCC planned on sending federal agents into newsrooms to"monitor" the news process.
Now the FBI is getting into the news business.
It is not the government's job to do anything but protect the press, but under this administration the federal government is taking upon itself the bizarre goal of influencing the free press. From the most secretive administration that has politicized every federal agency, from the DOJ to the Census, this president is dangerous.

he FBI is hiring a contractor to grade news stories about the agency as positive neutral or negative, but the agency wont say why officials need the information or what they plan to do with it.
FBI officials wouldnt even reveal how they will go about assigning the grades, which were laid out in a recent contract solicitation. The contract tells potential bidders to use their judgment in scoring news coverage as part of a new daily news briefing service the agency is seeking as part of a contract that could last up to five years.
