So, what CNN or MSNBC is now your station of choice because of their clear and unbiased coverage of the current administration?
Makes perfect sense. :shk:
The point is, there is NO media out there that doesn't lean one way or another, aiming to be controlled by one administration or another.

Sorry to burst this my friend but she is not lying, and for the media been controlled this started to happen many years ago when the independent media was bought and monopolized.
This one of the ways that the elite in nation can manipulate the masses and bring only what they deem important, still we got the internet to do the research but many fail to even take the time to find the truth.

Everything she said is textbook marketing. If you don't control the message, and by that token the media, then you suck as a public affairs professional PERIOD.

She discusses strategy for getting the actual message/speech/policy position out intact rather than the news media's edited "interpretation" or spin.
The goal of those creating the press release should be to get the release conveyed to the end consumer and fully articulated without it becomming fluff and spin or reduced/edited context by the news organizations.

There is another post above that also points out how Bush did this very well, as did other presidents. So don't try to make out like this is an Obama tactic. It is a political tactic that is used all the time.

You need to pull your head out and accept that this is not about the "current administration". This has been going on for decades.
Why do you think you're never told about the oil companies being sued by thousands of people for massive destruction of land and environment? Why are you never told about the thousands of people in various countries poisoned by a major drink brands factories? Why are you never told about the medical companies making billions of $ through immoral practices?
I'll tell you why...
Because your media is owned and operated by the wealthiest people in the world, just as your government (Dem. or Rep.). They'll tell you what they want you to know and nothing else.
These are the same people who own the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and all the other central Banks around the world.
It's really not hard to work out. Find the wealthiest people on Earth, and there you have the culprits of the greatest crimes committed against humanity. There you have the people controlling everything you hear, see, eat, drink...

I'll say it again if nobody else will. This is not what this thread is about. This thread is about a misleading headline which was misinterpreted by the OP. If you watch the video it is a PR person associated with the Obama Campaign talking about how they did their press releases - nothing more.

Seriously people stop jumping all over things that support your pre-concieved notion of reality BEFORE ACTUALLY VIEWING THE EVIDENCE FOR YOURSELF. The bulk of this thread is talking about how stupid this thread is and the rest is full of people who jump all over it based on the title without actually knowing what is actually stated in the video.

See, to me...when she was talking about how they controlled their media wing on their campaign trail, what that meant to me was they controlled their media wing on their campaign trail..whereas you somehow heard "we currently tell the media what to report now that we are in the white house.

simply amazing. Done with this nonsense also.
Administration Loses Bid to Exclude Fox News From Pay Czar Interview
The Obama administration on Thursday failed in its attempt to exclude Fox News from participating in an interview of an administration official, as Republicans on Capitol Hill stepped up their criticism of the hardball tactics employed by the White House.
The Treasury Department on Thursday tried to make "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the network pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network rotation that for decades has shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the presidency and other Washington institutions.
But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks consulted and decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included. The pool informed Treasury that Fox News, as a member of the network pool, could not be excluded from such interviews under the rules of the pool.

I am done with trying to keep happy the leftwingers who only accept news from leftwing sources. Such people have no idea what unbiased, and reliable news means, and they have no idea in what country they are living either.
Originally posted by ElectricUniverse
At least on this occasion the pool of 5 networks which the Obama administration was allowing to make the interview interceded for Fox News, perhaps it is time for the leftwingers to realize what the Obama administration is doing, but i doubt it...the Obama fans will find some new way to dismiss this information....

You really believe Fox News is unbiased and reliable?
Originally posted by Jezus
Think about that...
Why would the other networks do this?
Why wouldn't they let Fox be excluded?
You are doing EXACTLY what "they" want....
Originally posted by ElectricUniverse
Yes, much more so than MSNBC, or Castro's News Network (CNN), or the like... but then again even when i know such news networks are very far left, it is up to every American to decide what they want to watch or listen to...
Originally posted by ElectricUniverse
Could be because there are some people, including some liberals who think, and understand that the First Amendment Right, which includes FREEDOM OF THE PRESS is not just for liberal news sources, but all of them including Fox News....
Originally posted by ElectricUniverse
Then again, why do you think they did this?.... and how in the world am i doing "EXACTLY" what they want?....
