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.

Notice, people, the word "CONTROL" is the only word in quotes in the headline. This is a CLEAR sign that a quote is being taken out of context and being used to make news where there is none.

If you want the truth, you'll do the work. If you want to simply bash the administration, you'll take the OP at face value without looking further. Your choice.

Wow, and the Obama administration apologists never cease to amaze me...
Please do not speak about truth when you obviously have no idea what it means.

I made not one apology, nor did I defend the administration in any way. In fact, I did not address the implications made in the OP at all. I simply suggested that people look beyond the headline to find the truth.

She clearly said that They, the government, controlled the interviews instead of the media controlling it.

Yes, Anita Dunn DID use the words "control" and "making" but you'll need to listen to the video or find the complete quotes in context to see what she actually said.
