In a World News Daily story, link (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=113347),

"White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference.
"Very rarely did we communicate

through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control," said Dunn.

"One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters," said Dunn, referring to Plouffe, who was Obama's chief campaign manager.

"We just put that out there and made them write what Plouffe had said as opposed to Plouffe doing an interview with a reporter. So it was very much we controlled it as opposed to the press controlled it," Dunn said. "


If you were a Journalist would you take such an insult? She essentially called them "Useful Idiots!"

I did not call you out, I was trying to point out why your topic which was pertinent, was not getting a lot of attention.

I saw this particular topic fall off the board, and I am trying to bring up a slightly different angle.

But I accept the good humored abuse. ;)

The whitehouse can not control FOX therefore they fear them and want them minimized... this should scare the hell out of americans....

here is the line in the sand... Obama means to cross it and take away our right to real information and protect the propaganda wing of the democrap party...

Not getting a lot of attention? I guess ending up with 104 comments isn't a lot of action.

Anyway, the media are puppets and many of them don't even care. They are happy to obey because it furthers their agenda.

When I heard this story that was my thinking. I was surprised Dunn flat out said what everyone knew, that the Obama message was very tightly controlled in the media. Her speech did come off as a sterile, cold analysis of how they raped and played the media. I expected a bit more appreciation for the work the media did in electing Obama.

Yeah, but the useful idiots will spout exactly what they are told to about THIS also. Look how well they are ignoring it right now. :cool:

They chose Sotomayor's wardrobes? Wow... after all of that, they still made her look frumpy.

Sure, but just incrementally. This is why I am waiting for some formerly brainwashed jouralists to stand up and say "We really are insulted for being called tools..."

Hey I am the king of small threads, I am going to set the record for not getting over 100 posts.

Nope, she completely relegated them to the tool drawer, and called them "useful idiots!"

They have to chafe at this.

Good luck with that. I know you want to believe that but look how they sold themselves out during the election. They knew exactly what they were doing and didn't care one whit.

I'm not so optimistic. I will be happy if you are right. but I'm not holding my breath. ;)

But still, Dunn said they simply treated the media as saps.
