[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2569614, member: 18914"] Oh come on, yes the reporters in return for "access" and no annoying questions (well no questions period) can then write about the Potemkin Village they were allowed to see. This is the kind of stuff North Korea pulls when they allow select "friendly" reporters to visit model communes and report on the happy, productive people under the Dear Leader's benificent guidance. I have already left a voice mail with the Lawton Constitution news editor saying "reject this offer and instead run an article about how the cost of agreeing to such a visit is too high. Press access should not be conditioned on no questions asked." I can understand wanting to ensure that minors do not wind up on the front page or with pictures of their faces released. But why not supervised, no picture, first name only interviews? Why no interviews with staff? No, this is unacceptable and that the press would even consider it makes them look like lapdogs. [/QUOTE]
