[Daily Caller] Appearing on CNN’s "Reliable Sources," Baltimore Sun media critic David Zurawik lambasted President Obama for his attacks on a free press, saying the President was "trying to criminalize reporting."Responding to criticism of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump’s criticisms of the political press, Zurawik responded, "What happened to the press under Obama was really deadly."
"If, when we say what a threat Trump is to the press, and he is, all the things you listed I agree," Zurawik said. "But so far, nothing rivals what President Obama did to James Risen, did to James Rosen, and did to the AP. Trying to criminalize reporting. They called Rosen a criminal co-conspirator. Eric Holder wrote that to get the subpoena. They subpoenaed Risen. Ask Risen what he called him. He said he’s the biggest threat -- the Obama administration was the biggest threat to the press in a generation."
