San Francisco Newspaper Accuses Obama Administration of Intimidation 
---------------------------------------------------------------------



The San Francisco Chronicle has accused the Obama administration of
threatening to exclude the paper from access to presidential events
after one of the paper's reporters posted a video online of a protest by
supporters of Bradley Manning, the accused U.S. Army whistleblower who
is accused of releasing classified records to Wiki Leaks, during a
recent Obama fundraiser in San Francisco. The White House has denied
making such threats, but the Chronicle maintains its claims are
accurate.
