and the story deepens..
see if you can spot the 'slant'... I'm guessing the media is still smarting over being investigated number one.. and number two, slowly coming to realize they've been had by FoxNews once again..
Washington (CNN) - Under fire for seeking records of journalists' communications, government officials pushed back Wednesday against statements from Fox News that it was not notified about government subpoenas to the organization.
On Wednesday a law enforcement official showed CNN paperwork to support Justice's claim that on August 27, 2010 three messages were sent out about the subpoenas and went to both a lawyer for Fox News' parent company, News Corporation, and reporter James Rosen.
The Justice Department subpoenas were for two days of phone records in 2009 during a national security leak investigation. The department said it notified Fox News about seeking toll records for five phone lines but did not tell them about seeking access to Rosen's personal email traffic. When news of the search warrant became public, Fox News released a statement acknowledging Rosen was the reporter described in the affidavit and expressing outrage.
The official said two notifications were sent to Lawrence Jacobs who was the senior counsel for News Corporation. The law enforcement official showed CNN a fax receipt
with a time stamp to show something was faxed to Jacobs at precisely 4:09 pm on August 27. In addition, CNN was shown a U.S. Postal Service certified mail receipt indicating a registered letter was sent to Jacobs the same day.
The official did not show the messages sent to Jacobs.
CNN was also shown an email to the Fox News reporter sent at 4:20p on August 27th. The reporter's name was blacked out but the official acknowledged it was sent to Rosen. The reporter also was copied on the letter sent to Jacobs.
Again, CNN was not shown what message was sent.The law enforcement official stated that there was no indication that any of the messages did not go through.
But the official also did not provide any further proof that the intended parties actually received the communications."Nobody has bothered to show me anything," Jacobs told CNN Wednesday. "I am not suggesting anybody is lying. But I have no recollection of anyone receiving anything....Why would I sit on it?"
Jacobs left News Corp in in June 2011 but said he's been in contact with his old company and officials there have said they have searched records and found no messages from Justice Department officials about seeking phone records.
CNN has reached out to Fox for comment on the newly disclosed documents. In the past, Fox has said they were not notified about subpoenas for phone records.

"
something as faxed"
"offical did not provide proof that Fox got communication"
"Not shown message"
"Again, not shown message"..
wtf cnn? they're making the DOJ sound like the liars in this scenario.. How about asking Fox "wtf Fox news? full of shit much?"
covering up Fox news on this is a shit-ton more disturbing than the DOJ investigating a leak..
