It's supposed to be the "most transparent administration in history" yet the federal government is placing restrictions on the press so severe that you would think they were visiting the super secret Area 51 rather than the Ft. Sill Unaccompanied Alien Children facility in Oklahoma. Congressman Jim Bridenstine of that state recently tried to investigate at the site but was rebuffed by maximum security.
TAPPER: The media will get a tour of the facility Thursday. They are not allowed to bring in recording devices or talk to any of the children. My understanding is you've been offered a tour that day, as well, but your schedule doesn't allow it so you might be going this Saturday.
Are you going to take the tour if they give you the same limits -- you can't talk to children, you can't bring in recording devices?
BRIDENSTINE: I will take whatever tour they authorize me to take, but I will also make sure that I do everything I can to make -- so that people are aware that they are -- they have something here they don't want people to know.
Like you said, they invited the media. The media is going to come on the 10th. But the media was -- they were told they are not allowed to ask questions, they are not allowed to speak to the employees, they're not allowed to speak to the medical staff, they're not allowed to speak, of course, to the children. They're not allowed to bring any recording devices.
And if you like pictures, HHS said we will provide pictures to you.
So far not a peep of protest from the mainstream media. Does this mean they are going to meekly accept these severe restrictions?
The adventures of Media: the President’s Lapdog.
MSM, like republican politicians, top military brass, and hollywoodians are tough only on patriots, conservatives and veterans.
Everyone else, they cower to. Brett baier, god bless him, splayed to Hillary, O’Reilley groveled to BO and Hannity will smooch
God not god

...you can’t talk to children...

They’d probably find out that Central American countries and Mexico are emptying out all their orphanages.
Yes, the Nazis made a movie about their village, too. They let the media all over the world have it - on their terms.
The little paradise was called Theresienstadt. Full of nice, happy, well-cared-for Jews.
“Will MSM Meekly Accept Press Restrictions During Ft. Sill Unaccompanied Alien Children Facility?”
Yes.
Next Question, please.
Why? We all know why.......
More concerned about Bridenstine accepting the restrictions. Once he’s inside, he should do whatever he feels is right, ignoring the restrictions.
