Worse than W and Nixon

That's what the Committee to Protect Journalists says about Obama.  Looking back over the past year or so I have noted a few times that Obama has invoked the Espionage Act more than all other presidents combined. The committee report written by Leonard Downie asserts that "the Obama administration has curbed the disclosure of government information, limited the use of the Freedom of Information Act, launched a program of internal surveillance to stop people from talking to reporters and conducted an unprecedented number of investigations of journalists."

While Obama claims to be transparent, he is so with very few favored journalists.
