DOD can't win. The policy gets change to satisfy the press (and lefty agitators) and now that they have the chance to cover what they demanded should be shown they choose not to do it. So DOD takes the pictures --to avoid disappointing the families-- and they're criticized for that.

It's a development that troubles free speech advocates, who say the media, not the military, should capture the images the public sees.

Give me a freakin' break.

These unnamed "free speech advocates" would do a lot better to focus their attention on "net neutrality" and the attempts to make the only halfway balanced major news organization into a pariah.

But just because families consent to coverage doesn't mean news organizations are always interested.

They're only interested when it's a GOP administration. Now that the casualties are linked to the man-child's dithering the MSM couldn't care less.
