It only took five years for the American media to get tired of President Obama's spoon-fed propaganda -- well, at least one aspect of it. Earlier this month, 38 news organizations, including the Associated Press, ABC News, The Washington Post, and Reuters demanded more photojournalist access to the president. The White House responded with what one reporter described as a middle finger. Now some news organizations are responding by formalizing policies not to publish White House-distributed photographs.
Last week the USA Today announced that it will not use handout photos originating from the White House Press Office, except in very extraordinary circumstances. The next day McClatchy joined the conditional boycott:
The editors of McClatchy newspapers have agreed not to publish photography issued by the White House, McClatchy Vice President for News/Washington Editor Anders Gyllenhaal told staffers in an email Tuesday night. The policy is not a significant departure from current practices, he says.
Both McClatchy and USA Today claim that these were their policies anyway, which makes one wonder what the point is.
For those of us outside the DC-Manhattan bubble, it is really quite incredible to watch the elite media crybaby in this way. Our media has extraordinary power, when they choose to use it. The problem is that, when it comes to this president, they rarely choose to use it.

They’ve scrubbed the “p” too apparently. Scoundrels.
Sounds like the WH got tired of photos revealing the flies landing on The Lord of the Flies.
Sorry about that! My keyboard fails me at times. This was from one of those sites that will not all ow you to copy/paste the headline.
That's just off the top of my head. Any additions?
I’ll bet the Media will publish pictures that THEY take of a crowd booing Barry !
Fake healthcare?
Fake “red line”?
Fake video causing Benghazi?
This game could go on and on.
If the photojournalist takes a photo of Obama, does it even matter?
duh, Benghazi. How could I forget that one? Seems to be a trend here.
Mods fixed it. Thank you!
It’s really depressing, if you think too long on it.
The benevolent and just mods love you; I had no part in the fix.
Fake wife
Fake college degrees
Fake swooning supporters
I turned myself in and begged their indulgence. Thanks for alerting me.
That is good!
This is the only White House photo that's anywhere near being truthful. Just publish this one.
Fake everything else, but REAL Americans worshipping their “leader”
is this a harbinger of the fall of bathhouse barry?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
