Fox News says it is outraged by a Washington Post report that the White House monitored one of its reporters -- even tracking his visits to the State Department -- as it investigated a leak of classified material.
"We are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter," said Fox News executive vice president of news Michael Clemente in a statement. "In fact, it is downright chilling. We will unequivocally defend his right to operate as a member of what up until now has always been a free press."
