And you can bet anyone with a TV camera at a concentration camp is an unauthorized intruder.

The Nazis were the same way. Though quite convinced of what they were doing, they knew what the consequences would be if they were ever held accountable, and let no one inside the camps they didn't want to be there, and that included all media (which they controlled anyway).

parsing AOC’s words about it being a concentration camp. Instead of delving into what’s happening at these camps, they’re arguing semantics. It’s shameful. Chuck Todd is a #1 offender.

I heard that they are privately owned, and thus don't have to give access to congress. They probably are barring any media reporting as well. What is worse, I heard that they weren't even licensed.

the nation would be much better of. Trump would not have gotten to first base with real reporting. What we have instead is a MSM who only repeats RW talking points and never takes the time to even look and see if they are true. The MSM has a clear bias and it not to the left.
