I agree , he has made remarks about journalists and journalism that are extremely concerning . But President Obama has the worst record of any president ever for using the Espionage Act think about that one the Espionage Act is treason ! to prosecute whistleblowers who talk to journalists he rarely hold press conferences because he created The White House Office of Digital Strategy to get his message out . In this way , he carefully controls the narrative and limits journalists ' access to himself and his staff . Now there is a war on Fake News and while you may agree with the current administration about what ' s fake today , next year under Trump it may be your ideas and news sources that are deemed fake .
