Associated Press slams White House for staged photos; tells press not to use the Dear Leader's propaganda
As if Obama's "imperial presidency" needed any more substantiation, The Associated Press' photography director, Santiago Lyon, outed the Obama regime for refusing press photographers access to the White House and instead routinely handing over images taken privately by his own photographers. Lyon called the material 'propaganda" at the AP Media Editors national convention on Oct. 30, The Daily Caller reported, adding:
"The AP has only been permitted to photograph the president alone in the Oval Office on two occasions – both in his first term – and has never been allowed to photograph the president with his staff in the office."
AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll said the practice is commonplace because, quite simply, the media is accepting it and using the photos. Carroll advised members of the media attending the conference to "stop using the White House's preferred photos in their own stories," The Daily Caller reported.
Propaganda photos come in lock-step with another practice coming to light recently — Obama's closed meetings with hand-picked journalists whose names are not disclosed. "We don't provide lists of participants," White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz said, according to Politico.
