David Cay Johnston: Is Obama Administration Worse Than Bush on Press Freedoms?
Published on May 16, 2013
Watch the full interview with David Cay Johnston on Democracy Now! at http://owl.li/l5Zan. We ask Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and current president of Investigative Reporters and Editors, to evaluate President Obama's record on press freedom in the wake of the Associated Press monitoring scandal. The Justice Department has admitted to seizing the telephone records from around 100 AP editors and reporters. "This administration, despite its public rhetoric, has repeatedly and continually been very difficult to deal with," Johnston says. "I rate them worse than the Bush administration."
