President Joe Biden is failing on his promise of transparency, said the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), condemning his policy of denying access to the US-Mexico border to members of the media.
It is “crucial” that journalists be given “unfettered access” to the border to inform the public of what is happening there, the SPJ said in a statement on Tuesday, condemning the “tactics” of the Biden administration that resulted in effective restrictions on reporting.
Biden “promised both a more humane approach to immigration and more transparency than his predecessor,” said SPJ National President Matthew T. Hall, adding that his administration’s “refusal to let journalists fully observe and assess the growing humanitarian crisis at the border… shows he is failing on both promises.”
