[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Seven days in and gov't agencies are under gag orders[/quote]

Gag orders?  Because they asked them to quit posting on social media......seriously?  I agree the crowd number thing is stupid.  But, please remember, that the Park Service tweeted out a picture during the Inauguration of a comparison of crowds.  Why?  You don't think that was a slam?  You don't have problems with that?  Lots of people do.

You don't think social media under Obama reflected the views of his administration?

Badlands was not tweeting out information about Badlands.  Tweets were going out about global warming.  Why?  I'm not arguing with the facts, but that is not the purpose of their account.[/quote]

These are broad gag orders on federal agencies, who have a mandate to disseminate FACTS to the public. The public being the tax payers who fund the agencies. This has nothing to do with pushing out the views of one administration or another. This is an unprecedented and frightening move. Feel free to Google more sources.

Trump Administration Puts Gag Order on Several Government Agencies

Employees at several federal agencies including the Department of Agriculture have been barred by the Trump administration from making any statements, or providing any documents to the public or journalists, according to published reports.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services are also impacted by the orders, which were reportedly handed down this week, and include a prohibition against some of the agencies posting on social media.
