Journalists who cover the White House say Obama’s press aides have demanded — and received — changes in press-pool reports before the reports have been disseminated to other journalists. They say the White House has used its unusual role as the distributor of the reports as leverage to steer coverage in a more favorable direction.

I wonder why the Washington Post is finally admitting they are not reporters but propagandist for the Administration?
My guess is that its most likely related to lost of subscriptions and advertisement revenue?
And the Press always agrees...and never complains.
here press ... your talking points and remember ... you didn’t get those talking points from we at the White Hut ... go run with ‘em.
At what point then does it go from ‘news’ to propaganda? I think we’re there now....why doesnt the press just admit theyre spineless propagandists.
Yep they have the “Wife Beater” mentality that he loves them.
Why not just let the White House write the stories....
Imagine the outcry if a Republican administration attempted to dictate what the media did, and did not, report.
Why should anyone trust anything that appears in the press anymore?
Shocked, I tell you...
There are now robots too that are slowly replacing real journalists. It’s only a matter of time before they are all replaced.
The LA Times is already doing it.
Why should anyone trust anything that appears in the press anymore?
I don’t. And I seldom watch the news, and never on the alphabet channels.
We do get some trustworthy reports from the Brits.
At the point when media and journalism promote an agenda rather than objectively report the facts. We're way past that. The WH censoring what information can be disseminated by those with access is totalitarian. It's way past just being propaganda.
And they wonder why public approval of the press is about as low as approval of Congress.
On the radio yesterday afternoon, I heard a clip of Obama speaking at the UN about the military attacks, and once again saying America is the cause of problems there in the Mideast. I have not heard it again, or seen anyone on tv or heard any discussion on radio talk shows.
I know I didn’t imagine this! It was outrageous. Did anyone else hear this, or is this being suppressed?
It was before his climate change hysterics.
So according to the Washington Post there’s press manipulation and other shenanigans going on at the White House! I wonder if anybody else knows?
The Brits and Canada Free Press...
They’re here they’re queer........
This is goebbles wet dream.
Probably not a lot of “steering” needed...
hmmm.....MSM beginning to turn on Barry?
Perhaps their loyalties have never left the Clintons after all.
If this story doesn’t give someone a book title, they are not paying attention!
