Obama is the greatest enemy to press freedom

"It's hard to fathom how the president who started with the press fluffing his pillows has ended up trying to suffocate the press with those pillows. How can he use the Espionage Act to throw reporters and whistle-blowers in jail even as he defends the intelligence operatives who "tortured some folks," and coddles his C.I.A. chief, John Brennan, who spied on the Senate and then lied to the senators he spied on about it?" "They don't want to believe that Obama wants to crack down on the press and whistle-blowers. But he does. He's the greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation." " (thanks Amir)
