News Agencies Complain of Limited Access at Obama Events

White House pushes its own carefully chosen photographs

The nation's largest news organizations lodged a complaint Thursday against the White House for imposing unprecedented limitations on photojournalists covering President Barack Obama, which they say have harmed the public's ability to monitor its own government.

The organizations accuse the White House of banning photojournalists from covering Obama at some events, and then later releasing its own photos and videos of the same events.

And because ‘transparency’ is contagious, that witch Clinton it stonewalling the media also.
But they mean well, so the media still fawns over them.
