The same thing happened in 2014 when Obama blocked the media from reporting on the escalating border crisis. Breitbart news then came under attack for independently talking to border patrol and documenting the crisis. In the 2021 version the JoeBama administration is back to their old tricks.
Journalists are not being allowed to review or document the escalating crisis at the southern U.S. border. No pictures are allowed, and the Biden crew has instructed all government officials not to talk to reporters or journalists. They are hiding their motives behind the justification of COVID. NBC carefully attempts to call them out.
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is restricting the information Border Patrol agents and sector chiefs can share with the media as a surge of migrants tests the agency’s capacity at the southern border, according to four current and two former Customs and Border Protection officials.
[…] Multiple news organizations, including NBC News, have requested access to or photos from inside overcrowded border processing facilities holding unaccompanied migrant children; they have been denied. The DHS press office released one photo late Tuesday of a mother and child undergoing a health screening inside a border facility, but no wider shots to show conditions or sleeping arrangements.
At the height of the Trump administration’s child separation policy in June 2018, it allowed media to tour facilities where separated children were held.
The new restrictions have been passed down verbally, not through an official memo, the officials said. (read more)
Where or where is an honest journalist or media outlet to report on this?
They are hiding under their beds.
At least it looks like they’re eating well.
Sorry to say it … but my exact same reaction. In all honesty … THIS … isn’t what refugees look like. Asylum-seekers, my ass.
“Honest journalist?” Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Definitely a contradiction in terms.
bwahaha “honest journalist”… another oxymoron with a few exceptions
frankly I would call my self an investigative reporter to avoid being mixed in with those enemies of the people of the USA if I were in the communications business
Honest journalist is like jumbo shrimp, honest politician or reasonable feminist.
Most bylines in newspapers (both big and small) contain the e-mail address of the writer. Flood their e-mail boxes with your questions, comments and concerns. Do not write to a corporate mailbox. Those go to the junk folder. Go directly to the individual writer/reporter, annoy them, and make them force the issue with their bosses. I know for a fact it works on local issues.
I would like to say that I am pleasantly surprised to see that the NBC article mentions that during the Trump Administration, reporters were allowed to tour the facilities.
Maybe I will save that article – print it out, too – then when they take out that particular paragraph, I will have at least a memento.
I used to do this once in a while using AP articles on politics posted online. Click the link for the article, copy the web address to that article into another tab, then refresh the new tab and compare how AP updates their articles throughout the day without ever indicating it has been updated.
One in particular from several years ago stands out. It was a few factual paragraphs on some issue that quoted Republican senators. Over a few hours, it was updated to include quotes from Dem senators, and by the end of the day, no Republican quotes were found in the original article and it had grown a couple paragraphs for additional Dem quotes.
It had morphed from an article initially slightly slanted against Republicans, to one completely biased and slanted against Republicans without every showing what their opposite position was.
Nowadays, the leftist media just doesn’t care and they start right off with either a big slant against the right, or with outright lies.
It’s how the “kids in cages” and “fine people on both sides” gets to be so widespread.
I remember AOC went too. She complained about people drinking from the toilets.

What’s this “honest journalist” of which you speak?

Stop wasting time even asking the question. There are NO honest people in the Globalist Establishment Media.
You are now the reporters of real news…
Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson is about the only decent report on major media anymore.
I often get up a 6 on Sunday so I can see her at 6:30 am…However, she was not on last weekend. Do believe it was due to her going to report on the wall. Could not find her listed for any other time that day or night or Monday morning. Interestingly her show was not on the Sunday she was going to report on Election Fraud.
Good Video that should have been on CBS last weekend.

Ahh the power of video and the internet. You can run Joe…nah, no you can’t…you shuffle….so You can shuffle Joe but you can’t hide. You are being exposed every day and all you can do is try to hide but the stench of the shit in your pants is giving you away.
????
shocking! Biden made separate statements that directly contridicted each other???? First time in 50 year career…
He usually starts his lies with “here’s the deal”.
When you hear him say that, you know that the American citizens/taxpayers just got screwed over again.
Everyday I see an crazy comment by a democrat denying something they said, yet it is sitting out there on video.
Worse yet are the FB curtains, censors often claiming that the post is false. If it is an article or meme, a quick search will often yield the video showing the exact same words in the meme. Even when the whole speech is played, it is very apparent that Democrats and even the Democratically owned media can’t handle the truth.
Autocrats gonna autocrat; ‘Most transparent administration‘, part two?
and another scandal free administration…
Unlike the Trump administration where the scandals were manufactured to fit the Democrat Socialist narrative!
Not scandal free. Just not a smidgen of a scandal. A smidgen is a small thing, like an oil stain on your shirt. A tanker run aground and leaking is “not a smidgen.” Gotta learn their lingo.
Hey what’s the big deal, it’s kinda like a vote counting room in a major city, right?
No big deal, standard operating procedure by the JoNama administration and their obedient MSM.
AND – in my opinion…..this website and commentators should NOT refer to these people as immigrants.
THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS.
THEY ARE INVADING OUR COUNTRY AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS HOSTILES.
Real immigrants stand in line at the door and sign the guest book.
and so easy to fix. just pay some coyotes to scatter land mines strategecally.
It is a source of constant annoyance that even somewhat conservative sites use this misnomer.
ILLEGAL ALIENS
It is a matter of long-standing federal law. And at this point, a matter of life or death, both of the Republic and of its citizens. The only other proper nomenclature would be INVADERS.
The other phrase that gets me is “family unit” which is then qualified as children accompanied by an adult who may or may not be the parent.
Take their names and put them on ballots for Pelosi’s opponent.
But the big guy doesn’t like the words “illegal Alien”. He trying to force people to stop using that term.
Don’t want to upset the invaders.

Screw them and screw him too.
Breitbart … independently talked to border patrol and documented the crisis …
Funny, that sounds like what we used to call reporting, or actual journalism.
Yes, good and true statement, it was the work of a “free press”.
“NBC carefully attempts to call them out.” A sign that even many in the press are afraid to assert too firmly on what is their right and duty.
Why continue to give any credence to ozero. He is not that capable or that smart. Someone was pulling his puppet strings when he occupied the White House, who was that? Who were they? Who is pulling the strings of the current White House occupant?
China with the help of our CIA.
El Blue on Telegram.
remember when the Kenyan said to tell Putin he would have more flexibility after the election…..well he is flexible enough to be a circus sideshow with the stolen election and shadow government with Biden as the Alinsky Howdy Doody.
?
Nothing screams legitimacy like covering up a crisis.
Ah, the left-wing, state-controlled media can’t get any pictures? Poor babies.
Sorry to have to tell them how stupid they are. This is all part of the plan. The 80 million patriots who voted for Pres Trump need to be replaced. What are they up to now at the border? 13,000 in two months? Just around 11 more months to go.
More like a hundred thousand in February alone. Send em all back where they came from.
Dems are the biggest human smugglers/drug smugglers on the planet. Grab a kid and head for the border.

“Democracy dies in darkness.” Remember?
I think that tag line is actually their mission statement?
Perfect, yes.
“Democrats Lie In Darkness”
Yeah… couple of those “anonymous sources” that they like so much would help. But real ones this time.
If what we are seeing is Reality (admittedly, a very big IF in this Twilight Zone era) then we are soon forced to face the elephant in our living room: not only was the Swamp not drained, the Swamp outsmarted President Trump in successfully overthrowing him in a coup. How I totally hate writing that, but what other explanation can there be at this point? Grasping at straws…
Agreed Halley,
One tries to be optimistic however Biden/Obama regime holds all the cards.
#1 being a complicit media.
The Brits have got the Americans all beat to heck with their media. They can be fools ,tools and sycophants too. But they do have their newshounds.
God bless PDJT
I won’t even go there–it isn’t Obama/Biden. They aren’t smart enough. Who supplied the pallets of bricks last summer? Who had all those BLM/AntiFA signs printed and staged at the sites? Who provided the masks, gas bottles, etc to provide cover to the criminals and to destroy the property of hard-working American businessmen? Who paid these people to “protest” (and don’t dare put protest and peacefully in the same sentence to describe last summer’s riots)? Who is really pushing the Globalist agenda for the country? Look at the most wealthy of the wealthy class. Yeah, the ones who likely aren’t paying into our tax system. Bet you can name at least 5: Soros, Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, JackSquat. How’s that for a good start? We aren’t even talking the political pawns right now. We’re talking the big money backers. Those that the 44/46 administrations will protect rather than tax!! Middle class? Cover your a$$. They’re coming after us with much higher taxes. Perfect example of Socialism–the philosophy that means the group that is really good at spending other people’s money!!
Corporatism – the alliance of big business with big government. Mussolini said corporatism and fascism were the same thing. Don’t get fixated on Hitler: he was the anti-semite. Mussolini had Jews in his cabinet, at first.
The Republican establishment are servants of the big donors/big business. That’s why McConnell etc. are fine with all that’s happening. Open borders remains a large agenda item for big business.
China is now a one-party state, friendly to big business. Our big business types love the Chinese system and government. Does that sound more like communism, or fascism?
Since the corporatists/fascists have been and are selling us out to the CCP it appears we’ll slide right on into communism. Looks to me like the Commies take it all in the end b/c they’re making sure nobody else can field an army like theirs, and don’t look for them to remain friendly to the corporatists; the CCP will absorb everything.
I might be wrong but I really don’t think there’s much debate about that now.
Turns out the swamp is so big it can only be drained using the nuclear option. The literal one.
President Trump had options according to Flynn, but the President decided to fold and not use his famous counter punch. And now the country is suffering under a Communist regime. Sad.
China Joe will never win and the USA will never be Communist. Remember those words?
He was referring to a fair election. Not a mail-in dem/commie farce.
PT45 always did/does what is best for all of us.
Hard to believe that PIGLOSI outsmarted Trump. Trump’s biggest mistake was not hiring that woman who runs True the Vote. She knew exactly what was going on. I am still waiting for General Flynnn to let loose with all the info he had on ODUMBO.
A US citizen can’t come back into the US if she fails a COVID test but illegal immigrants get a free bus ride to wherever they want to go? Lord help us, please.
Well, I’m sure they are at least taking their names and wherever they’re going so they know where to mail the stimulus checks.
This says it all,
“NBC carefully attempts to call them out.”
As they sing-“…tiptoe through the tulips with me….”
I will to continue to ask this rhetorical question ( I am housebound with significant back spasms.)
so I have time on my hands.
So why do we not have Republicans or Dems from Arizona, down there demanding access along with a say OANN reporter and camera crew.
God bless PDJT
Maybe some of those ‘volunteers’ that DHS recently called for, can text back pictures taken on their phones…
Bogus aka Biden, tells Stephanopoulos that Putin is a killer.
But it’s entirely acceptable to let thousands of unvetted, untested migrants saunter into the USA during a lethal pandemic.
So who’s the real killer Bogus ? Who has no regard for the lives of the citizens ?
Is this incompetent and his decision makers, trying to commit mass murder, like Cuomo did ?
Because failing to take the necessary precautions isn’t going to end well.
Hopefully the D voters will wake up to the damages Bogus is already starting to inflict, and vote accordingly.
So when are we going to put a stop to all this BS? The latest video of Joey the Idiot taking a question from the press was a total fake…..the green screen President…
WHEN PEOPLE!!!!WHEN!
When it’s too late. That is, yesterday.
If only there were some type of “flying machine” that could fly like a bird over the locations and take photos from above…
ROTFL … I love it when someone figures out what is really going on. Good point.
But is the border restricted air space?
In a real country that protected its border it would be.
Shocker.
Biden Admin: Yawn. I’m Sleepy. What’s for desert?
Some celebrity should schedule their impromptu-but-long-awaited nuptials at the border . . .
then the drones and the helicopters can capture all the pictures of the nuptials to be transmitted to “Entertainment Tonight” and all the other places where “celebrity news” is hashed over . . .
I was up in the Santa Ynez Valley during the weekend that Elizabeth Taylor married Larry Fortensky . . . what a lot of hubbub!
an excerpt from the “Los Angeles Times” – October 7, 1991 – reporting on the wedding of Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky –
(now that drones are available, could capture images with those as well)
FOR LIZ LARRY, A TAYLOR-MADE WEDDING
By Carla Hall
October 7, 1991
LOS OLIVOS, CALIF., OCT. 6 — The invitation was cream-colored, one folded sheet, black engraving, and here’s what it said: “Mr. Michael Jackson requests the pleasure of your company at the marriage of his beloved friend, Miss Elizabeth Taylor, to Mr. Larry Fortensky, on Sunday, the sixth of October 1991 at 5 p.m.”
The place: Neverland Valley, Jackson’s sprawling ranch 100 miles north of Los Angeles.
The event: the Hollywood wedding of the year.
On this warm California afternoon, behind the estate’s gates and with helicopters and balloons hovering overhead, Taylor and Fortensky said their “I do’s” at the million-dollar ceremony.
Any jostling for a closer look of the private ceremony was taking place overhead as at least 12 helicopters incessantly circled the sky, most presumably full of photographers and cameramen. A lone parasailor who ventured over the property nearly got clipped by a copter as astonished bystanders looked on from the ground. Supposedly there was one security helicopter up there too, but it certainly wasn’t discouraging the press helicopters. Nor did a dozen big purple and yellow balloons that floated lazily in the sky over the valley. In another midair spectacle, an intrepid parachutist jumped from a small plane smack into the festivities. He was promptly arrested.
Columnist Liz Smith, the only working reporter allowed at the ceremony and the only source of firsthand details, reported that the parachutist landed within 20 feet of the minister in the middle of the wedding, but added that he was hustled away so quickly that the disturbance lasted less than 30 seconds.
Among the fragments of the ceremony heard over the roar of helicopters . . . “
Well hiding the border crisis is consistent with hiding himself. All hail president green screen.

Wait a minute, journalists cannot talk to border agents or illegals because of the CoVid crisis but illegals can pour across our borders and be bussed by OUR government into the interior of the country without any regard to their level of CoVid exposure. This is the kind of insanity that simply cannot be made up, even by the weirdest of Hollywood libs!!
Look at all those undocumented democrats.
Quick, give FBI director Wray a call on his always open to the citizens phone line. He’ll send some special agents down there pronto to clear up this matter!
Tell Wray that a noose was found at the border. He’d probably send a few thousand agents down there to investigate.
How can they do this? Where is freedom of the press? Freedom to speak, think, and express? Where is our constitutional rights? How much longer are we to be subject to China rules? Surely there is a person out there who can start the ball rolling. Don’t depend on big tech. Use local radios, boxes on the corner, something. If we don’t act soon we are going to drown.
Keep in mind that thanks to 3 of the fab 4 on the Supreme Court; Roberts, Kavenaugh and Barret (who wrote the majority opinion); FOIA requests can now be denied, in part or whole, for nebulous security and need to know criteria.
Pardon? Are you friggin kidding me?
Just like the previous administration this seriously flawed crook was in, The Most Open and Transparent in History.
Snagged the words from a friend since she said it so well.
There is is good evidence of the below, along with the large amount of fraud in the DACA program that the Democrats know all about.
Illegals Supposedly Less than 5% of Population
Illegals Commit OVER 1/3 of Yearly Homicides and Other Horrendous Crimes.
Illegals Are 25% of People on Welfare Rolls
OVER 85% of Illegals Collect Welfare Benefits
Isn’t it time to put Americans first, instead at the back of the line. Isn’t is time for America to stop being the care taker of the world & take care of America & Americans.
What do you mean care taker of the world?
They’re lured here for sex and slavery by the big corporations who then force the tax payers to pay their slaves’ room, board, education, etc.
For “some” reason (low wages) everyone “doing the job Americans won’t do” still need all their expenses paid by broke, struggling tax payers.
Why do you repeat the Leftwing lie this is humanitarian driven when it is slavers destroying America for profit at everyone’s expense?
Care taker of the world–Do I really need to explain that??? If you have not noticed America has been the one country that has bailed out countries around the world for over a century! Why to you think so many war torn countries managed to rebuild after the wars, including the countries that were out enemies.. Now tell me how many of them paid back the monies given to them after the wars. H3LL it was not until 2016 that England finally paid off their WWI debt, yet I doubt America will see England’s WWII paid off. If I wanted to start researching, I’d probably find that very few countries have even come close to paying off their WWI or WWII debts.
Think about it How many Trillions not services or assistance with defense or disasters, but actual money, have we given to other countries over just the last two decades?? Probably several Trillions went to our enemies who only want to wipe out America. In fact, Biden is now making sure democratic policies of giving monies to terrriorist counties continues.
Then there are the Trillions spend on illegals over the last two decades, which does not cover that cost of criminal activity by Illegals in America, not to mention the Billions if not Trillions the American victims of the crimes by committed Illegals in America. No legal citizen of any country should take a back seat like Democrats have done to legal Americans in America.
This video is old but is so very True—How often do you see other countries rushing in to help with American disasters or giving America Billions in funds??
So true…This ‘administration’ is dismantling in four months all the good President Trump achieved in four years. Wondering if the main purpose of his Presidency was to wake up the sheeple since everything is being destroyed and Ozero’s agenda is back on track at warp speed.
Now we’re back to the Buraq policies. The China virus and all kinds of diseases are allowed to come on in.
That DACA crap is one of the biggest scams in the world. “Deferred action for childhood arrivals”.
And of course we also had DAPA. “Deferred action for parental arrivals”. So they can all reunite, and we can pay the tab.
Don’t even mention DACA to me. FIRST vast majority of the ones in the DACA have had years, actually majority have had decades since they turned 18.to get their American citizenship. Very small percentage of DACAers have done that.
Just look up the rules for someone to be a part of DACA & you will see that way over 50% lied on their application. Worse part is one was not supposed to have any arrests! Many many DACAers have criminal records and I’m not counting their juvenile records.
Around 50% of DACA Applications are Fraudulent
Around 50% DACAers functionally illiterate even in their own language
Around 46% DACAer have only ‘basic’ English ability
Around 50% DACAers don’t have HS diploma or GED
OVER 50% of DACAers have criminal records.
WHEN did the press BEGIN answering to Biden or the WH?
Did Woodard and Berstein report to the WH during Watergate???????
Press is FREE to do what the hell they want, investigate what they want and go anywhere they want. WE ARE THE USA; you can’t CENSOR anyone.
IF press abiding by this, doing on their own accord and protecting Biden and WH>
IF THIS WAS TRUMP, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, NPR, Telemundo WOULD BE ONSITE AND REPORTING LIVE FROM THE BORDER, TODAY!!! Who are they fooling?????
The DOJ and Homeland Security WOULD BE PRESSED BY HUNDREDS of media/press about the border. They must think we are so stupid!
Looks like the Joebama administration got tangled in their own web of covid deceit, and even those on the left are starting to call them out on it. How can covid still be a danger if you are allowing thousands of covid-positive illegals to enter the country freely, without being detained and returned to their country of origin?
THEY don’t CARE…THEY NEED new voters and more Dems. Whatever it takes to bring in voters to turn Tx blue and Fl blue; that’s what will be done. The goal is turn either state and never elect anything other than a Dem. COVID is Fauci’s war on us. HE FUNDED the Wuhan Lab and he’s portraying doom, gloom, death EVERYDAY to keep the ball rolling and keep investigations at bay. We’ve all been affected by COVID courtesy of Fauci.
LOL … sure. The MSM are going to “call him out.”
Only if it’s time to eject Joe for Kamala.
Our govt has gone full-on authoritarian and communist.
The republicans are working side by side w the democrats. There are about 10 republicans who object to the invasion.
At least we have the Republican National Committee on our side! ……..wait?
Liar Psaki denied this was the case today. She referred the press puppets (and there was actually more than one who asked about it) to the DHS and HHS.
Of course, the press puppets weren’t prepared with “But we asked just this morning and we were referred to the White House, since it was a “policy issue”.
Quick…run and ask Kevin Macarthy what is going on at the border…..I am sure he got to the bottom of the problem when he went down there this week./s
I’m sure having his picture taken and giving a little speech must count for something. Plus he had some tag-alongs behind him for support. What else would we expect from republiCons.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
In Communist China the media is the mouthpiece of the ruling party, reporting only what the ruling party wants reported – in exactly the WAY they want it reported. So, same as here.
And the CCP suppresses all dissent.
Those aren’t exactly Ethiopian refugees.
Like the ones Sam Kinison joked about.
God, I miss the good old days.
And the meek republicans don’t say a word about it.
There has to be a better name for this bunch than Pravda.
The press needs to realize if they haven’t already, they are nothing more than workers for the
Ministry of Popular Enlightenment and need to stop asking questions of the new regime.
And those self-same journalists, who wouldn’t allow Trump to sneeze without yelling “coverup!” will just meekly accept the situation as they feverishly search among the diminishing pool of possible Trump stories to toss against the wall to try to maintain a crumbling facade of independence.
It’s impossible for Democrat activists prostituting themselves as journalists to provide the free press that a Constitutional Republic requires to function successfully. The mainstream organizations we’re currently saddled with don’t warrant Constitutional protection.
So they report it or they don’t what difference does it make? Who doesn’t know?
There is a full blown border war with the cartel in full control of both sides of the border in towns.
If you haven’t watched Lara Logan’s piece on Roma Texas please do and share it. No one is talking about this. https://www.newswars.com/watch-firefight-erupts-at-us-mexico-border/
The almighty King Obama commands and the Marxist press complies. This sadly is America today. The country is lost. God help us please.
The government can’t stop people from reporting on the border. While the country is beginning to look like a bastion of communism people can still observe and report. We don’t really need the MSM any longer as damn near everything is seen and recorded by countless people. Fake video by the government these days is very quickly refuted by people who saw and recorded something other than what the government says is happening.
Governor Greg Abbott (Texas) held a press conference yesterday. He detailed the atrocities Jo Xi’den’s administration is sanctioning at the Southern Border and to the citizens of Texas.

Its not journalism it’s CCP reporting .This is what we have to look foreword to.
If these “journalists” were brave they would have undercover cameras on them to document what they see. It is not hard, but you have to actually want to do the actual job rather than being satisfied with the narrative the Nazis are going to feed you.
