Hey, I liked the Reptilian bit. After all, look at her tongue when she talks. Somebody else posted about that on another thread. Ahem, funny.

Certainly not trying to insinuate you should look for a loophole, , but couldn't you add the Reptillian bit in another post outside the very first one? Then it would be your opinion and I don't see how an opinion can be considered a hoax. Anyway. This news is neither new to me not shocking, as I am sure most people feel, but it's still sad to confirm those beliefs.

I love this country and I want it to succeed in every way. But without a free press, conditions in every other aspect of life diminish as well; tainted news is tainted life.

I hope we can someday no longer be at war and regain some of the freedoms we have lost over the last decade.

I hate to break it to the White House ..... they DO NOT CONTROL the MEDIA ....
the MEDIA is for better or for worse, the FRIEND of the PEOPLE, not the FRIEND of the Administration, and certainly, not the FRIEND of BARAQ BAMAH (The Anti-Messiah / Anti-Christ).

BHO is currently setting himself up for the world stage as the Leader of the World, but he has to fabricate his stories to get people to follow him and I for one, am not one who will follow him, no matter what he does, says, or anything else. READ the last chapter of the Holy Bible in the New Testament if you don't believe me. Its all there.

Every presidential candidate, president elect and president has done this, it is nothing new.

"while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was "controlled,"

Pre-interviews, "approved questions", staged events, generated exclusives etc.

All top political figures (regardless of party) do this.

Of course they will control, as much as they can, everything they feed to the media.

It would be politically reckless to do it any other way.

They may wish to entirely control the media, but that is virtually impossible, especially in these times and with the vast technologies and ways in which the public can access news and information.

CNN/MSNBC cry whenever Fox has something critical to say about Obama, but Fox was doing the same thing when Bush was criticized. Bush was our savior according to Fox news, now it's Obama according to CNN.

Here's an idea, don't listen to ANY of those fools.

"Spin" is controlling the message, not the messenger.

While you are getting future predictions from the Bible, how about some investment tips? Share the wealth. Oh - you're just interpreting old, generic nonsense? Nevermind.

I'm sorry, is this new information??? Is this something that everyone on this board did not already know?

Just checking.

Thanks for the definition - why don't you share your insights with Bill O'Reilly? If you honestly think Fox is fair and balanced and the O'Reilly factor is the "No Spin Zone," you are certifiably insane. I would take anything you say seriously if I hadn't heard Fox defending Bush/Cheney 24/7 for 8 years strait. Cheney shot a man in the face and served no jail time. If the liberals control the universe, why wouldn't Cheney go to jail for shooting a man in the face?

FOX News is neither "fair" nor "balanced."

Did the fact that I denounced our current media system in my post (and previous ones) lead you to believe that I was a supporter of O'Reilly?

Our system is broken. Some pundits are less ethical than others. Unfortunately, they all have to play "the game" to get ahead in our corrupt system. Politicians and their media handlers are no different.

You could probably have handled that last post without flaming.

Stop The Madness.

Wow look at the main page... The white house is really taking the heat about this and not in a good way.

The reason I don't read WND is because of articles such as this one. Yes, in the video clip Dunn did say, "Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control." However, WND knows it's readers and is hinting at a scary type of control. When taken out of context with everything else that was being said, it could be seen as just that.

One the other hand, what she was really saying was that their campaign strategy was targeted at getting their message out the way that they wanted it. They accomplished this by being vary disciplined about what was said to the media. This opposed to having staffers leaking information about certain issues. It would be comparable to a football coach telling his team to go out on the field and control the game, as opposed to letting the other team take control.

So in reality (I like that phrase), she was talking about their strategy to get the message they wanted out to the voters. If your not the ones in control of getting your message out to the voters, then your running a sorry campaign. That's basically the message Dunn gives in the video, maybe not the article which was taken out of context, but certainly the video.

Oh yeah, just in case anybody was wondering. I am getting the direction of the article from their subtitle in the report, "Communications chief offers shocking confession to foreign government."
