I guess Obama is finally losing the press in his drive to be just like Lenin.
Dozens of leading news organizations are protesting to the White House
against restrictions that sometimes keep journalists from taking
pictures and video of President Barack Obama performing official duties.
At the same time, two press groups urged their members to stop using
official photos and video handed out by the White House, dismissing them
as little more than "government propaganda."
The news organizations' letter to White House press secretary Jay Carney
detailed a number of recent examples in which photographers weren't
allowed to cover presidential events that were deemed "private" by
administration officials — even though the White House indicated their
newsworthiness by releasing its own photos of the same events.
Its called myth-making by a very vain Obama. The last thing he wants is to look like a dolt or shown up by some photographer exercising his First Amendment rights at a "private event" like meeting human rights activist Malala Yousafzai. So he has the White House photographer snap a bunch of pics and his propaganda commissar okays which one the proletariat gets to see. I'm sure Brezhnev and Andropov nod solemnly from beyond the grave.
