White House admits: We 'control' news media
Communications chief offers shocking confession to foreign government

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."

Video of Dunn's remarks at the conference can be seen below:


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 students 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.

Video of Dunn's speech, broadcast during a segment of Glenn Beck's evening show on the Fox News Channel, can be seen below:

Exactly. The W/H can barely control their minions in the W/H. That was just a campaign tactic. Instead of wasting time dealing with high paid reporters. Let's give them our agenda w/o giving an interview. Besides, the government will only report what they want us to know anyways. Doesn't matter if they got the media on lock. The economists, conspiracy theorists, commentators, and bloggers will debunk what they put out regardless.

The biggest difference I think TxGal, is you are now seeing with clearer eyes.

But it has always been the same, not just in your country but everywhere. It really doesn't have anything to do with which party of the day is in control of the government. It starts at the beginning, at the core of the nature of these particular human beings. An unrelenting obsession with having control. Politics is the perfect career path for them.

The people have seen the same bullshit and tricky dealings happen over and over again, it's just becoming more obvious now. You can see the details in the pattern.
