Top White House Official Says Obama Team 'Controlled' Media Coverage During Campaign

The Obama campaign's press strategy leading up to his election last November focused on "making" the media cover what the campaign wanted and on exercising absolute "control" over coverage, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told an overseas crowd early this year.

In a video of the event, Dunn is seen describing in detail the media strategy used by then-Sen. Barack Obama's highly disciplined presidential campaign. The video is footage from a Jan. 12 forum hosted by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development in the Dominican Republic.

"Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control," Dunn said, admitting that the strategy "did not always make us popular in the press."

Freedom of the press is vital for a health democracy.

We no longer have a vital democracy. Not only did the Obama manipulate the press during the recent campaign, they continue to do so. And the one news organization, Fox News, is under assault daily from the Administration as our President has announced that Fox News is not a news organization and instead a political organization.

I'm afraid this country is all but lost.

But, the silent majority is awakening ....... if its not too late.

Fox News now has the 13 top-rated cable news shows. The network grabbed more than half the cable news viewers out of four cable news networks. It is the No. 3 cable network after ESPN and the USA Network.
