The remarks of Sally Buzbee to a meeting of editors and reporters, spell out how Obama is subverting the constitutional guarantee of a free press. Her speech might be justifiably titled, "Payback Time."
"As the United States ramps up its fight against Islamic militants, the public can't see any of it," Buzbee told officials of the American Society of News Editors and the AP Media Editors.
"News organizations can't shoot photos or video of bombers as they take off and there are no embeds." Obama's aides won't even say what country the warplanes are flying from.
(Of course, if the public can't see the devastation, carnage, and killing wrought by U.S. air power it is just that more liable to condone it, a big win for the military-industrial complex.)
