NSA full blanket wiretapped journalists?

On Olbermann tonight, former NSA official Russell Tice claimed that the NSA was intentionally wiretapping/cataloging all communications from some US journalists. He's not fully clear on who or how many, but he does clearly state that the NSA was targeting and collecting on US journalists.

To some degree, Tice comes across as a little detached as he tries to outline his ties to the Obama folks (he wants to be important and they blew him off.) We need more on this. We need more.

(If you'll remember, two years ago, there was some question over whether ABC changed an interview transcript, helping cover up whether Christianne Amanpour was tapped.)
