Why isn't there a law preventing gov't involvement in the media, allowing them to do so lets them shape and mold the populace into a false sense of reality. I consider it abusive to vulnerable individuals and to allow it to continue goes against everything this country is supposed to stand for.
On Monday reports by The Huffington Post, Yahoo, and the International Business Times, to name a few, were asked to nix their publications of Obama’s daughter’s school trip to the drug cartel infested country
.....
In an email directed to Dylan Byers of Politico.com, Kristina Schake, Communications Director to the First Lady, said “from the beginning of the administration, the White House has asked news outlets not to report on or photograph the Obama children when they are not with their parents and there is no vital news interest. We have reminded outlets of this request in order to protect the privacy and security of these girls.

He's POTUS you think he wouldn't send his daughter to a country that's dangerous, It was the U.S. Department of State that issued a travel warning was it not. Declaring a security situation in Mexico, did he not just do what he tells the American citizens not to do. Kinda reflects his policy's ironic isn't it. Say one thing and then do another.

This is what they call "censoring the news"?

What I don't understand is this...there have been MANY kidnappings by the zeta drug lords, and other Mexican drug cartels over the past several years.
WHY the president would ALLOW his daughter to take a trip, school sanctioned or not, with secret service agents or not, is way beyond my comprehension....
