Photographers annoyed on Obamas stance on no photos of his kids

There's a dispute heating up between photographers and the Obama White House when it comes to pictures of Sasha and Malia.
One the one hand, you have children whose parents would like them to lead a somewhat normal life.
On the other hand, you have the government telling photojournalists — not paparazzi but news organizations — what they can and cannot publish.
According to Politico's Michael Calderone, the AP wouldn't put pre-approved White House photos of the girls' first day of school on the wire — the same way a newspaper wouldn't print a White House press release, verbatim. That's not journalism.
Recently, when President Obama caught sight of 8-year-old daughter Sasha on the White House's Truman Balcony, he waved, and she waved back, and photographers captured a "rare, unscripted" moment. White House officials apparently asked news organizations not to distribute the image. A few weeks later, President Obama took his daughters out for ice cream, and photographers were permitted to photograph them and use the images — a set-up photo op.
