bambi wants to control the message or the media?

Controlling the message, for any White House, is hard work.

Numerous staff and advisers must all be moving and speaking in concert like a well-oiled symphony. Sound bites must be thoroughly vetted.

Answers to probable questions should be well-thought out. Answers to the questions that those answers provoke must be anticipated and carefully scripted. This is what constitutes “controlling the message.” It’s a laborious process that’s full of traps and pitfalls. And the Obama administration has no use for any of it. It would rather control the media instead.

What else are we to think when the administration declares war on the one cable network news outlet that doesn’t serve solely as a propaganda mouthpiece for all things President Barack Obama?

What else are we to think when Obama’s communications director by day (and worshipper of murderous, Chinese dictators by nights, weekends and sometimes holidays) explains proudly that the Obama campaign’s “strategy” is to speak to the press through video messages “without having to actually talk to reporters.” That’s not strategic. That’s arrogant, secretive, cowardly and dictatorial.

What else are we to think when Obama’s handpicked “Diversity Czar” at the Federal Communications Commission says that “good white people in important positions” in the media industry must be forced to “step down” so that “people of color, gays, other people” can fill those positions?

What else are we to think when Obama’s FCC chairman, Julius Genachowski, pushes for regulatory authority with the Internet so the FCC can dictate to Internet service providers what content they must (or must not?) provide.

There’s a big difference between controlling the message and controlling the media. Obama is clearly focused on the latter. Whether it’s blackballing and attempting to marginalize a leading news outlet, trying to regulate the Internet or forcing broadcast corporations to replace their executives with people who are more politically palatable to the administration — make no mistake — Obama would rather bind, gag and hold rule over hearts and minds than win them over.

This thug wants total control of the media IMHO. Who was the fascist from Germany that did the same? I'm tired and don't remember.

If you control the message, then you needn't control the media ....


of course that doesn't work with FNC ... hence the attacks


FNC charts it's own course .... reporting news they want to .... not video bits from Obama'nation

How can bambi control all the freaks with whom he's surrounded himself? No way he can control the message.

Now the dimwit is attacking the establishment media. I gotta clue he can buy.
