Well, I'm not certain (sincerely), but I hope that the Congress ethics book includes "You aren't allowed to take swings at reporters who ask you questions." On what basis? Well, I suppose a free press needs to operate under the assumption that petitioning their government won't result in a sidewalk beatdown. That might tend to discourage a free press, if not acted upon by an ethics hearing. Again, I don't know if this is addressed in the ethics handbook, I just hope that it is.
