Anita Dunn Explains How Obama Runs the Press

Anita Dunn explains (dare I say brags) how the White House controls the press. Notice how matter of fact she is about it:

"A huge part of our press strategy was focussed on making the media cover what Obama was actually saying as opposed to - why the campaign was saying what the tactic was. We had a huge premium both on message discipline, on people in the campaign not leaking to reporters, on people in the campaign not discussing our strategy, and also on making the press cover what we were saying. 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, just put that out there and make 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. It did not always make us popular with the press, but we increasingly, by the general election, very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control."

Anita should know that Chairman Mao would have been proud.

What is amazing to me is how the mainstream media willingly sold out and cooperated with this agenda.

And the saps still do it.

Thank God that Fox news does not cooperate with this sham.

We've known for years about the state run liberal media, now is the time to put a stop to it! The truth is what we all need.

And I'm sure that you and your Pre-paid Legal, bible-thumping friends are just the guys to tell it to us.

AL, I believe in God , not a fly. On that note, would you really listen?

And now, even Sotomayor:

I guess that's why she didn't borrow Winter's favorite outfit - Hillary's orange pantsuit!

When you send me to Camp Huckawitz, will I have a choice?

I googled Camp Huckawitz to discover that you are the only person in the world using the term/phrase.

Perhaps you should trademark it and register the domain name quickly, before someone else discovers your ingenious creation.

You never know, you may have a following.

I doubt it. I seriously, seriously doubt it. I don't even believe Al exists.

It is revolting but actually I have no objection to her wearing it at this time of year. When she puts that orange suit on over her fat arse she clearly is in the Halloween spirit by dressing up as a pumpkin.

You actually have that choice now.
