HHS Will "Muzzle the Media" During Tour of Immigrant Child Housing
National Review Online ^ | July 7, 2014 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 07/07/2014 2:30:06 PM PDT by Biggirl

Health and Human Services officials will allow reporters to visit a military facility housing some of the immigrant children who have arrived at the southern border in recent weeks, but only if the media promises not to record anything, not to ask any questions during the tour, and not to talk to any of the staff members or children.

And our pathetic excuse for a “free press” will allow this Soviet-style control? What a shame.

The turd media doesn’t have to be ‘muzzled’. They are willing accomplishes to the Obama tyranny.

And the MSM will go along with it, no problem.

Any reporter that takes the initiative to get the story will be marginalized.

IOW, they want the media there, but not if they act like a “real” media.

Got it.

C’mon media, you are being played as fools. You’re nothing but useful idiots for this regime. Start reporting facts about this enemy of the U.S.

And the point of them going will be what?

May as well not bother.

Besides, why does the MSM get to go in while a Congressman gets locked out?

My guess why HHS is so cloak and dagger...They are training the kids for a trip to meet the emperor by having them learn the song from 2008 in the beginning of this video... But at the end of this video... We see what has really happened, and is happening.

No wonder they don't want any questions asked.

And you know how they would have responded to a Republican administration making these demands.

Sure. Every news program and MSNBC talking head show would be setting up a remote right in the middle of the "forbidden zone." The anchors, and all the guests, would wear bulletproof vests and Kevlar head masks to protect themselves from "Republican snipers." They would explain this every minute or so.

I hope every one of them gets TB, small pox, or whatever there is in the air.

How 'bout a nice big bowl of head lice? And, since you're the media, we can put a large serving of scabbies on the side.

WAIT! Don't run off media. We're also having a giveaway with FREE bedbugs. Guaranteed to breed!

The Nazis would let the media and Red Cross into the camps to see the Jews but it was all a front...

they even made quality documentaries that were a lie...

*only if the media promises not to record anything, not to ask any questions during the tour, and not to talk to any of the staff members or children.*

In other works, don’t bother showing up.
Write the usual Leftist misinformation and await further instructions.

We’ll tell you how to report the news, or if you’re allowed to report it.

Thank you for posting this article. But, there is more now from Rep. Bridenstine and his office. He has put the government on notice that he will have recurring visits, some with other Congressmen, with journalists, and upon no notice. He expects to be admitted with respect and without delay or interference.
