White House Adds New Position to Deal with Unfavorable Online Media
Media Bistro ^ | 5/24/11

Posted on 05/24/2011 6:31:30 AM PDT by markomalley

The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obama’s online presence as he prepares for his reelection bid, and squashing any negative stories:

The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has usually been outsourced to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), if not done on an ad-hoc basis by administration officials. And it signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive defense of the president and his policies as his re-election campaign gears up.

If you’re going to post something online about Obama that isn’t true, Lee is going to be the one to handle you. Considering that Lee’s first tweet about his new position included a picture of The Terminator, we suggest you watch what you say OR BE DESTROYED.

Okay that was a little dramatic, but you get the idea.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. They’ve been doing it all along and haven’t been very effective because they’re quite simply dumber than a sack of hammers.

Goebbles learned it from Woodrow Wilson's buddy Edward Bernays.

Goebbels was using my book Crystallizing Public Opinion as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany. This shocked me.

I think they may have been tipped off by Obama’s Israel Surprise speech. On the major news websites, the MSM (believe it or not), the comments were crazy negative to Obama.

Someone said the ratios were outrageous like 50:1 (or more) negative to the speech.

Once this propaganda department gets going, they will jump on everything Obama related and flood it pro-Obama posts. Youtube, Yahoo, AP, Reuters, everything will be targeted.

They can even extend this into entertainment, movies, tv, books, and flood them with positive or negative reviews to influence the public on which movies to see, which shows to watch, and which books to read.

Welcome to the USSA. It is here now. Liberals have no ethics at all, and obey no laws or rules. To them it is alway victory at any cost. Even if that means the loss of their own freedom and wealth, which it what it will eventually come to. Although, they don't know that yet.

FR should be very wary of all 'new members' approaching the election. I'm sure they already are.

Does this mean individual FReepers will be getting personal visits from this thug’s “friends” for saying things that they disagree with?

The scarey thing is there are millions that would willingly do just that.

Yep. I expect FR to get flooded and soon.
baraq tried this crap early on with pop up ads on yahoo.
“Obama wants you to go back to college. Click here to see how.” I thought WOW, he is advertising himself as something that no other president has been. Eerie similarities to the rulers of China and North Korea.
The press went all in on baraq. They don’t have to worry about their bottom line anymore because george soros is funding them. They don’t have to be concerned with lack of customers. They are now a fully paid for propaganda arm for baraq. Also eerie to watch the media morph from the arm of the dimrat party to the arm of the baraq regime.
And no one in power will stand up to this guy.

Only the government can troll internet sites. All others will be prosecuted.

Funny you should say that. Just this morning I happened to notice how much of my news I get from England and Canada.

Not intentionally. No boycott or anything like that. I just can't read or get interested in ‘American’ news outlets. The news is so watered down and propagandized, it is just plain not interesting. In American news, you can read a page or three pages of any event and walk away with more questions than answers. They just don't report anything worth reading. It is always some vague outline along the lines of, "Today, somebody shot somebody over something! No details were provided."

Then you read the Brit or Canadian paper and find out it was a Muslim or a Black guy attacking a White guy over racial or religious issues. This is something the American Media would never report factually under any circumstances. And even when they do, they feel compelled to counter it with, "but Christians are just as bad or worse." Who wants to hear that crap?

Whenever I read, ‘name withheld’ I know immediately that a Muslim or some ‘protected’ minority was involved. They have no problem plastering White criminals all over everything.

Oh well, they can propagandize all they want. It wont do much good if nobody is reading the stuff. It is like having gruel for breakfast lunch and dinner, everyday. No one wants that.

P.S. After working for years trying to convince us that a committed Black Muslim is really a Christian, the American MSM are now jumping the shark by trying to convince America that a Black Muslim Marxist with a Kenyan/Indonesian Muslim background (by his own admission) is really just a 'good ol' boy' Irish guy. HaHaHa, there is nothing these guys will not try. It is laughable. Oh yeah, Barack Hussien Obama? Yeah, I heard he's Irish. Hussein is an Irish name, isn't it? LOL

Decades ago, when studying subliminal messaging, I read the name Bernays and about his concepts. When Glenn Beck raised the name again in conjunction with what is going on now world-wide, it struck like a thunderbolt! Even Glenn doesn’t comprehend the level of manipulation now running loose in media and the body politic. But I’m thankful Glenn re-raised the spectre of Bernays. ... Have you ever read the book ‘Subliminal Seduction’? It’s about advertising techniques. I first ran across it while working American Studies classes.
