Thank you, DonDiego.
I suspect they are protecting the privacy and annonymity of the children. Its generally a well respected rule the press does not interact with children without parental consent...especially children who are victims of crime or other oppression.
Thats why, for example, you dont see pictures floating around on the internet of the girl who was stabbed 19 times in Wisconsin by her friends...story
I'm curious to know what "transparency" DonDiego is after. The number of children and photos of the facility are provided. Does DonDiego want James O'Keefe slapping a microphone into the face of an 8 year old without his mother's consent?
The American media can go just about anywhere in the world, interview, photograph and video record children (and the adults caring for them) affected by all manners of the human condition, be it war, famine, government oppression or any other hardships that they might face. Such reporting is often Pulitzer prize winning material, front page news, network broadcast leading stories. In America, freedom of the press is guaranteed by the Constitution. To limit the media coverage of these events to administration provided imagery, administration provided answers to questions after the tour, and administration selection of who can cover these events is probably the most blatant example of media control by ObeyMe to date. I say probably, because there may well be other events that ObeyMe has completely blocked all media coverage.
