i recall holder saying one of his greatest regrets as indicting james rosen in an unindicted co-conspirator in this case. >> after he said that he kept coming after me. i don't think there was any serious regret by the administration. i think they didn't like negative publicity and so wherever people pointed this out in the press and when it became a big issue they would say we're misunderstood. but i don't think eight years of a pattern of behavior is something that's misunderstood. >> so what does this tell us about the next four to eight years? how could a president trump build on what we saw from the obama administration with regards to pursuing leakers and sometimes looking into the journalists publishing those leaks? >> i think it will be very easy. i think obama and holder have left trump a very clear path on how to do this. people don't remember that until the valerie plame case in 2004, leaks were basically ignored by the government. so this process that the obama administration engaged in was really new. it was a sharm break with past tradition in washington when leaks were largel

fox news politics editor joins us in a moment but first james rosen with more tonight. james? >> martha, greetings from washington with the electoral college voting today to formalize donald trump's victory, officials with the republican national committee were keeping close tabs on the 306 truck electors. protesters determined to block the president-elect from receiving the 270 electoral votes needed turned out against tall odds in all 50 state capitals. upwards of 200 demonstrators braved the freezing temperatures in harrisburg chanting no trump, no kkk, no fascist usa. >> i feel like it's the last chance we have to really save this country. i mean, hillary won the popular vote and hoping that we can make some kind of difference. like the last-ditch effort. >> inside, however, all of the keystone state's electors cast the ballot for the president-elect. the 20 electoral college members are gop activists and sometimes hand picked by the trump campaign. indeed, in the first ten states that donald trump won that voted today, there were no defectors. first so-called faithless el

tonight, we hear from news media critic and new york university journalism professor, jay rosen. he runs the website, "pressthink.org" and to us, his views on the state of journalism in the age of facebook. >> 25 years ago we would have been in the studio somewhere with 13 people around. we're recording this with a single camera man and his mom who's holding the microphone. we've got our journalist in another city asking questions remotely. it's becoming easier to make media just at the same time that the network of news is expanding to include everyone with a cellphone all over the world. what i think we really need is a press that can sometimes say to us, "hey you may not think this is interesting but it's really important." journalists have to give us that kind of message sometimes. some people say the problem is that people are always listening to voices that they already agree with on social media. one of the things journalists are really struggling with about facebook is that it has in a way replaced their relationship with users of the news. instead of going to their favor
