PROPAGANDA: Jack Lail: White House photo access controls public image. “The Associated Press, the largest U.S. Wire service, has only been allowed to photograph Obama in his office on two occasions, according to Associated Press Director of Photography Santiago Lyon. Lyon said the administration’s control of photo access and use of official photos amounts to propaganda. He said no official explanation of the lack of access has been given and that greater access was common under previous presidential administrations.”

I’ve got an explanation. I’ll bet you can think of one on your own, though.
