White House boasts: We ‘control’ news media! Is She Dunn?

Wow– talk about ESP!  Who just said to read the foreign news?!
By Aaron Klein

TEL AVIV – President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was “controlled,” 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.

Continued Dunn: “Whether it was a David Plouffe video or an Obama speech, a huge part of our press strategy was focused on making the media cover what Obama was actually saying as opposed to why the campaign was saying it, what the tactic was. … Making the press cover what we were saying.”

Dunn was speaking at a Jan. 12, 2009, event focusing on Obama’s media tactics and hosted by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, which seeks to promote collaboration between the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. The event was held in Santo Domingo and was attended by the country’s president.

Dunn has been facing some criticism since she led a White House campaign last week against Fox News, slamming the top-rated network as an “arm of the Republican Party” and “opinion journalism masquerading as news.”

Fox hit back this past Friday, releasing a video of Dunn speaking to high school last June in which she lists her two “favorite political philosophers,” including Communist Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung, whose draconian policies are blamed for the deaths of tens of millions of people.

This woman is either an idiot or she is giving a glimpse into a level of hubris that should be frightening to us all. Too hard to believe?  Then watch it yourself:

Real News, Anyone?

It amazes me that so many people can be taken in by charisma.  I’m not referring to the general public– the masses fall for things all the time.  I’m referring to the people who used to report news.  For those of you who are too young to remember, there used to be ‘reporters’ who would dig around for the truth behind the words of politicians.  Now, as you can see, there are a bunch of people who simply write what the president tells them to write, including writing bad things about the people the president doesn’t like.  It is really quite amazing how the world has changed-  the ‘Fox’ channel– the one that your parents won’t let you watch– used to be more the typical than the unusual.  News reporters were known to actually report both sides of things.  Hard to imagine, I know– but I’m telling the honest truth.  Go find an old newspaper, say more than 10 months old.  IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!

Now, if you want to have any hope of knowing what is going on beyond the words of the anointed one, you need to turn on (gasp!) Fox or read the foreign print.  I was overseas recently and read the stories about the falling US dollar that you won’t read here, because it would raise the question, ‘why is the dollar falling so dramatically?’  People would then, maybe, start asking questions– questions that the ‘fall-in-line’ media do not want you to ask.  How can they all be fooled?  Mostly because these are the people who in college had dreams of everybody holding hands and singing instead of holding dictators and those who commit genocide accountable.   These were the people who had no clue– you recognized them back then, but now you think they are smart of fair just because they wear pants instead of shorts.  But I digress…

The dollar is falling btw because every other country is seeing the obvious– the US is a falling nation.  We have our own madman driving us over a cliff.  He will soon borrow another 200 billion to prop up the economy that he has destroyed.  Note that the media blames Bush for that– he somehow created this whole global recession.  I won’t bore you (for now) with the truth about the pressure from the Left to loan money to those who don’t work or can’t afford to pay it back, and how that destroyed the financial industry– but just look at the obvious.  The whole world was brought down by the use of leverage and financial instruments that had nothing to do with Bush.  Watch, now, as every OTHER country recovers… EXCEPT US.  Other countries are looking at conservative reforms, like cutting taxes and cutting the size of government, allowing the economies to spring to life.  Our idiot prez is doing the opposite.  He has created a bunch of government jobs by borrowing money and setting up ‘make-work’ programs.  That is your money paying those salaries btw…  but eventually China will stop investing in a country being run by a fool, and when that happens, the dollar collapses, inflation explodes, and the US quality of life becomes equal to that of o’s ancestors– or worse.

Read some real news, people– use the internet to your advantage.  Don’t trust me– just read.  And recognize the New York Times and the big three TV networks for what they are.  As for MSNBC, if you are watching that, you have no brain left, and I pity you– but I cannot help you.  The best you can do is avoid having children.

The following is taken from Patriotic Resistance:

Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the utter decimation of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change.

Here were Monckton’s closing remarks, as dictated from my audio recording:

At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.
