Shredding the Constitution: Obama’s attack on the media

washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-tu…
2015: The U.S. ranked 49th this year out of 180 countries included in the organization's World Press Freedom Index, joining the ranks of countries like Niger, Malta and Romania.

"The decline from its position at No. 20 in 2009 has been spurred by the Obama administration's aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers, said Delphine Halgand, Reporters Without Borders' U.S. director."
"Other countries that got higher marks than the U.S. for press freedom? El Salvador, Botswana, Belize and Suriname, to list just a few."
"The U.S. could again climb the rankings if it pulls back on its aggressive tack on leaks and if Congress passes a strong federal shield law, which would protect reporters' rights to not reveal their sources without fearing prosecution."
