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.

The AP is very upset. They have decades of experience taking staged propaganda pics. They should have at least gotten a chance to make a bid.

So, Lyon's about to retire anyway, or what?

Considering Henson died of AIDS, It is likely the muppeteers would heavily favor an insurance mandate that not only covered preexisting conditions, but their partners as well.

Everyone who loves America smelled Hussein out as a dangerous fraud 5 years ago.
At the same time — AP was complicit in electing the Hussein terror cell.

Obama screwed over the AP... he attempted to bring them to their knees. Seems it didn’t work. Good for the AP.

Obammy listened in on their reporters’ phones. Leftists never realized that the jack booters have no comrade loyalty.
