So Is This Why the White House Doesn't Like FNC? They Can't 'Control' It?

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.n. Read more...

Thomas Jefferson - he had lots of good stuff to say. Wonder if context had anything to do with any of it?
"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology."
"The way to silence religious disputes is to take no notice of them."
"The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force."
"The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory."

“I see it as bullying a news organization, by the time you get to telling ABC or some other news organization how they should behave to another news organization,” said David Zurawik, media critic for the Baltimore Sun. “Someone should tell them: you’re one branch of government. We’re something else over here. Don’t lecture us about how we should behave towards one another.”

I got stuck watching CNN at the gym today during my lunch and I endured 1 1/2 hour of stories that were not news but only perspectives. The first on how that women from that show on HLN show, "The Issue", felt about teen pregnancy and that it's Bush's fault that teens are getting pregnant. I can't remember what the second story was about but there was no news in their broadcasting - only perspective. So Obummer and his cabinet better boycott CNN!

I have to say that it looks like the end of the road for The United States. They will silence Fox, stifle innovation, enact socialism, and proceed with reparations. It is happening before our eyes. We voted them in and gave them too much power and they will use it until this country is no longer recognizable.
My dear American friends who share my love of this country, I am in despair that this may really be the end of freedom for us. Once they silence Fox and they seem damn close to that goal, I believe all is lost. Once the sole dissenting voice is gone, they will roll like thunder through our lives and they will make us PAY for disagreeing with them.
I never thought I would see the end in my lifetime. It is horrible to behold.

A liberals idea of a free society : Sitting in a home paid for by the government watching their favorite reality show on a government run channel on a TV paid for by the government with a bag of marijuana on their lap and a joint in their mouth supplied by the government. Next to them on the table is a hundred page crisis hot line book provided by the government with 24 hour assistance on subjects ranging from marijuana prescription forms to gay and lesbian services. Other items of interest include government run child indoctrination and toll free numbers to anonymously turn in anticommunist and antisocialist gatherings.

@shadow Obama's latest power grab, IS with Dr.'s. He promises to pay for their education if they will work for the government for 10 years. It's all "pay to play" with him. I KNEW a Dr. who signed onto a deal like this in a socialist country. He said to me "you have no idea how lucky you are to be free" All he wanted to do was look at art. It fascinated him.THEIR Art is censored. He told me he was a slave to his government. At the time, I never thought I would be faced with anything like his way of life.
