On Wednesday, NBC News reported the Biden administration has imposed what amounts to a media blackout at the southwest border amid a worsening crisis.
Border Patrol agents, including sector chiefs and press officers, are under an unofficial gag order not to answer questions from the press, according to four current and two former Customs and Border Protection officials who spoke to NBC News on condition of anonymity.
Federal officials along the border, they say, have been verbally instructed—there is no official memo, no paper-trail—to deny all press requests for ride-alongs and refer all media inquiries

Wuhan Flu is coming into our southern border in droves due to this illegal alien dregs coming here. What’s worse is that there’s no pushback from our feckless GOP. The Xiden regime doesn’t want we the people to know what’s going on and trying to get information from that dimwit Circle Back Psaki just leads to a sad comedy skit. You just know that if this was PDJT the press would have a collective cow but with The Groper they go along with the stupidity. Something needs to be done NOW!!!

People who watch the alphabet "news" know nothing of this invasion from the south. If covid is such a health hazard, why is this not stopped?

There was also a 'blackout' on Joe Dementia's mental condition during the entire election time. Even if they were not in power.

What the Biden crew is doing by banning the media from interviewing and riding along with the Border Patrol is creating sort of a news black market along the borderline where the media will gain access serriptiously.

That's quite a ponzi scheme you have going there, Biden-puppet master(s): Gag the officials on the scene (who have most certainly been threatened with loss of job/pension), refer them to DC, who refers them from one federal bureaucratic circle of hell to the next. White House to DHS to Border to White House to DHS to border....rinse and repeat until millions of illegal aliens are MIA in America, except to the Democrat party who knows how to register them to vote.

Covering up the invasion of disease ridden, job stealing foreigners, many who are hard core, violent criminals, too.

Shipping containers instead of open air “cages” for the minors is predictable. The grossly non-transparent Biden administration does not want any photos showing the minors behind chain link fences. The communist news agencies double standard is breathtaking. Can you imagine the constant mainstream screams about a Constitutional crisis if a GOP president imposed a media blackout?

Didn't Obozo's administration promise to be the most transparent administration? Then proceeded to hide and lie about everything. The media blackout only involves the MSM. Conservative media outlets are all over this.

There are all those TXNG observers along the border. What do they see? And where are the local and state health authorities raising hell about the COVIDS and other dreadful diseases crossing the border? No one seems to want to take action that matters, just enough to quiet the howling mob... C'mon Governor Abbott, you can do much, much better. Quarantine every border jumper "observed" and send the bill to Mexico. This is an emergency, isn't it?

#1, I agree that the GOP has rolling over a lot lately. But part of the reason they aren't speaking up is that the Democrat party is in "blitzkrieg" mode, steamrolling over the Constitution so fast that nobody can catch up to what they are doing. They need to flatten the economy as fast as they can in order to get the entire country into communism.

Joe is borrowing his strategy from the Nazis. If it's good, steal credit for it and cry "Heil Hitler!" If it's bad, it didn't happen. Just bury it in the dirt of Treblinka.
Joe's problem is that the border crisis is now so big that it can't be hidden. His sycophants are the same people that claim Bush created Katrina.

When lies are not working, obliterate access to truth altogether.
