Obama signs 'Press Freedom Act,' refuses questions from the press

President Barack Obama signed the Press Freedom Act on Monday, this law expands the State Department's annual human rights reports to include a description of press freedoms in each country.

But what about the United States?

After he signed the act into law, Obama did not allow the press to ask him any questions. He promptly said, no questions.

Throughout the Obama administration, the press has been stifled, much like in communist countries. We'll see what the future brings.
