It is especially misleading for people who never read beyond the title. Read the linked material and then comment. Surely all that want to believe that Fox is the enemy of our government don't want to read beyond the title here.

I fail to see your point Delussianne.

In your cited quotations, the first thing that's mentioned is "President Obama's presidential campaign..."

The VERY FIRST SENTENCE!

Your below the fold reference directly contradicts your entire intent! The VERY FIRST SENTENCE on the link clearly stats PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN!

What the hell!?

I watched the video as she referred to things being done in the past tense. If you're too stupid to understand past tense referring to something that happened in the past (like the campaign), you won't understand the written text anyway.


So they admit they manipulated the news media during the campaign, but, as you seem to assert, they have since found religion and do everything above board now?

Sorry, but I'm still skeptical.
Exactly, and I have to applaud the OP for pointing that out.

Nothing to do with the present day or present circumstances. EVERYTHING to do with Faux et al. advancing their game that they're being attacked by the WH.
Your thread title is misleading. She did in fact say just that.

Why do you think they haven't continued the practice? Obviously, they put out their talking points and videos, they use their "reality check" to spew propaganda, of course they want reporters only focusing on the things they say and they definitely do not want reporters asking tough questions and challenging obama's lies and rhetoric.

Why do you think they have started this losing war with Fox News - they are the only ones who present the other side.

If not for Fox News, the ACORN story would have been buried and suppressed by the media, same with Van Jones.

Eh....who exactly is lying, distorting and misleading?

Based on the video and the story, it's not Fox News.

Yet the title of the story is "We Control the News Media." Present tense.

"We increasingly, by the general election, very rarely did we communicate anything through the press that we didn't absolutely control."

Hey Perkins, you get a "pants on fire" for that one!

Not a direct quote, and the headline put "We Control the News Media" in quotes. Nice loyal try.

Also, the Faux headline implied that she was bragging that the WH controls -- present tense. "We Control the News Media". That this is happening now, not in the context of a campaign from last year. But come to find out.....
