AP editors: Obama relies on staged propaganda photos [Is Pravda Turning On Its Master?]
dailycaller.com ^ | 11/1/13

Editors of The Associated Press condemned the White House’s refusal to give photojournalists real access to President Obama, who prefers to circulate press release-style pictures taken by his own paid photographers.

These official photographs are little more than propaganda, according to AP director of photography Santiago Lyon.

The AP has only been permitted to photograph the president in the Oval Office on two occasions. Both were during his first term. All other pictures of Obama in his office were taken by White House photographers and distributed to the press.

Previous administrations were less strict about photos, undermining Obama’s frequent claim that he strives to run “the most transparent administration” in history.

Lyon made his remarks at the AP Media Editors national conference in Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Frankly, I am amazed even this tiny bit of criticism is being outed...perhaps their master Obama called upon them to be a WEE bit critical, so that he can then pretend to open up....

It is payback time for those Jarrett deems to be enemies.

I’m sure he’s received a vile tweet from Jarrett.

Oh shut up, you lap dogs, with your sanctimonious whining. You know when your master says jump, you’re going to be hopping up-and-down like a circus poodle with a pink tutu on. The MSM has zero credibility in their coverage of Obummer. Don’t try to fool anyone with your “tough words”.

In a totalitarian regime, everything is rationed. Especially information. So shut up, AP, and take your ration of information from the regime. You got what you wanted.

Of course they’re going to turn on him. Call it a preemptive strike. The GOP are going to criticize him up and down during the next presidential election so they’re going to beat them to the punch by throwing him under the bus and begin their buildup of Hillary.
