Yes. Obama had a premade script of who would be allowed to ask ?s. (Almost all of the journalists allowed were from liberals) Major Garrett could only take notes and was not allowed to ask a ?. So much for freedom of the press.

Our televised press are not allowed to show extreme political views towards one party. This is the problem in the USA, you have the most extremist people on the news and FOX is the worst of them. I can see why Obama would not want them there because they would try to humiliate him. But that is why British televised politics is like that ,so we don't get that scenario where the primeminister would have to freeze out certain news companies, which in the end offers a greater range of press freedom.
If you know what I mean, that last statement by me was a little higgledepigglede lol. Anyway, I'm agreeing with you that it is bad. but saying how Britain overcame that problem.
