"Top White House Official Says Obama Team 'Controlled' Media Coverage During Campaign

White House Communications Director Anita Dunn is shown here at a January forum in the Dominican Republic. 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.
"Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control," Dunn said, admitting that the strategy "did not always make us popular in the press."
The video drew attention after Dunn kicked off a war of words with Fox News last Sunday, calling the network "opinion journalism masquerading as news." The White House stopped providing guests to "Fox News Sunday" in August after host Chris Wallace fact-checked controversial assertions made by Tammy Duckworth, assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Dunn complained about the fact-checking last Sunday. In the January forum, she provided details about the lengths to which the Obama campaign went to control the media message.
She explained that the campaign favored live interviews so that Obama's words could not be edited -- "so that what the voters heard we determined, as opposed to some editor in a TV station."
She said Campaign Manager David Plouffe put out Web videos so the campaign could avoid talking to reporters and focus the media message.
"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," she said. "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. ... 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."
Let me see! Didn't Anita Dunn praise the butcher, Mao Tse Tung? And din't Democrat President Kennedy help expose the fact that Mao starved millions of his own people to death?
Yup, Obama said to judge him by the people around him!

Two of her favorite philosophers that she draws on most to deliver points, does not say the "Two of my favorite philosophers that I admire the most".
It says her two favorite philosophers that she draws on the most to deliver points. You know, you use examples to prove points. In this case, she needed two opposites. It's all about choice....
Besides, if Glen Beck didn't see a problem with the end of her speech placing doubt on his meaning, he would have used it all, instead of cropping it.
October 21, 2009 at 11:11 p.m.Mao Zedong and Mother Theresa -- not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is:
Not often coupled together..meaning opposites
two people I turn to most to deliver a simple point which is...
Point of reference to show opposites.
It's all about choice. One used her brilliance and compassionate mind for good, one used his brilliant mind for evil. That is the choice that we all have.
It's a ying/yang kind of thing.

..."The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Zedong and Mother Theresa -- not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is: you're going to make choices; you're going to challenge; you're going to say why not; you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before. But here's the deal: These are your choices, they are no one else's. In 1947, when Mao Zedong was being challenged within his own party on his plan to basically take China over. Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army, they had the air force, they had everything on their side. And people said, "How can you win? How can you do this? How can you do this, against all of the odds against you?" And Mao Zedong said, you know, "You fight your war, and I'll fight mine." And think about that for a second. You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things and you don't have to follow other peoples choices and paths. Ok? It is about your choices and your path. You fight your own war, you lay out your own path, you figure out what's right for you. You don't let external definition define how good you are internally, you fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."...
October 21, 2009 at 9:33 p.m."But if you go carrying pictures of chairman mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow"
Hmm, I guess john was wrong, some can make it, although not carrying a picture of Mao, Anita Dunn certainty admires Chairman Mao's philosophy.
October 21, 2009 at 5:46 p.m.Suzy...I don't think it changed the meaning of anything. She looks to both Mao AND Mother Teresa for inspiration. I can sorta see Mother Teresa, but looking to Mao for inspiration makes me wonder what she's getting inspired about. Not the sort of thing that makes ME comfortable knowing that she works for the president. It sorta makes me wonder just how wierd some of the other White House staffers are. "Judge me by the people around me." Okey dokey. I'll do just that.
October 21, 2009 at 5:34 p.m.Kenneth, Mao was used as a reference of comparison. That was the part that was cropped, which changed the meaning of her speach greatly.
October 21, 2009 at 4:52 p.m.Ken...I do believe that the comment by Dunn was the first time I ever heard Mao-Tse-tung and philosopher used in the same sentence! Mao may have been many things, but.....philosopher?
Let's see what he WAS. He was a revolutionary, a mass murderer of world class proportions, a pedophile, a communist, and uhhhh, what else? Oh, yeah, a person to whom a senior presidential advisor looks for inspiration. Makes me proud, how 'bout you?
October 21, 2009 at 8:09 a.m.Kenneth,
October 20, 2009 at 1:52 p.m.First, I think "despicable" is a little strong but it is your blog.
Second,if you would check out MediaMatters for America there are explainations of Fox people cropping the comments of Ms. Dunn.
"The Media" is out of control. In a court of law, much of what is being said would be considered slander. Free speech is a good thing, but not when it distorts the truth about people and events.
October 20, 2009 at 7:59 a.m.My great fear for this nation is that communications isn't the only thing BO and his henchmen want to control.
October 20, 2009 at 7:47 a.m.What's wrong with controlling things in a political campaign? Makes sense to me.
October 20, 2009 at 7:39 a.m.The "praise" of MaoZedong was part of a comment that also included Mother Teresa. Critics have been leaving out that part of the quote.
