Sonny,
Absolutely correct.

However, you like I, have seen some of these "loud mouth son's of bitches" 
who charge in and think they can take over the place in the name of the 
media and their rights. And the fir begins flying with mouthing off about 
rights and freedom of the press. Instead of simply smiling and acting in a 
gentlemanly manner and the honey with a smile first off and calming voice.

What's worse is even though they have a right to be there, if they're 
challenged, sometimes quite gruffly by someone with a tad of "in their mind 
officialdom" it's best for the media folks to show their professionalism. 
And ride above the "authorative idiot" and go to the head honcho by phone or 
whatever communication is necessary to get their assignment completed 
without any hassles.

And I've seen the most hard nosed TV and print journalists (give me no 
bullshit mister I know my right's so get stuffed") media types calm the 
roaring lion with a simple smile and treatment where in moments the "Lion" 
can't do enough to assist in making it easy for the crew to get their job 
done with the least hassle. :-)

Hell it's like watching a magician hypnotize the "lion in seconds" without a 
gruff word nor demanding posturing.
