With these events broadcasted to the nation, I do feel Lippmann could argue that there are barriers to the truth. For this one particular event shown in the picture, I feel there are a couple of barriers. I feel that much of the information could be taken out of context when it is delivered. The media cannot possibly deliver every question and answer given during a press conference, so when information is chosen it may be shortened or clipped. The people will then take the information and interpret it as they would like to. Also, if there is one reporter who is more biased than another, we may not receive the message in the tone it was originally given; even though they are supposed to be representing the nation as a whole.
