White House Creates Liberal Damage Control Position
by L.A. Holmes | May 24, 2011
Any press is good press, right? The Obama administration apparently doesn't think so.
The White House has created a new position dedicated to damage control in the media, but it appears the role will focus on spinning negative stories published on left-of-center websites -- or "progressive" blogs as the new job defines them -- not right-wing news outlets.
In an internal personnel memo first obtained by the Huffington Post, itself a liberal-slanted blog, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer writes that staffer Jesse Lee will head up the new initiative.
"This week, Jesse Lee will move from the new media department into a role in the communications department as Director of Progressive Media & Online Response," Pfeiffer writes.
"For the last two years, Jesse has often worn two hats working in new media and serving as the White House's liaison with the progressive media and online community. Starting this week, Jesse will take on the second role full time working on outreach, strategy and response."
The administration has had to walk a delicate line with its Democratic base since coming to power in 2009. President Obama has faced increasing criticism from the left over issues like its failure to close Guantanamo Bay, sluggish efforts to promote gay rights, and continuation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Then press secretary Robert Gibbs famously angered what he termed the "professional left," telling The Hill newspaper in August that the group goes too far in its criticism of the president.
"I hear these people saying he's like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested ... I mean, it's crazy," Gibbs said.

Am I the only one who believes that Rham Emmauel looks just like Goebbels?
I had never thought about that.
Rham Emmauel is an enigma.
How did a Jewish man get involved with slime like run the Dem party now? Surely he understood how the left hated Israel.
Now behind the scenes, he may be used to destroy Obozo and his commie minions. Whatever it takes.
No. And his brother looks like one of the chief Bolsheviks, completely risen from the dead. Both look like mass murderers.
Smart Alec is a bit sensitive.
And Alexrod with a small mustache IS HITLER.
omg..... you’re right.
Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels did not start off with total control of the media. The Nazi regime started off slowly, in a series of small steps. They began by retaliating against media outlets that were critical of Nazism. They assigned members of the Nazi party to monitor and “correct misinformation”. They pushed media outlets to begin “self censorship”. Eventually, they exercised complete control over all mass media outlets.
The Obama regime routinely retaliates against media outlets that are critical of them. They refuse to communicate with Fox News. They refuse access to reporters from media outlets they deem critical of them, such as the Boston Globe reporter who was denied access to the President, during a fund raiser in Boston. Now they are assigning members of the White House staff to monitor and “correct misinformation” on left wing internet media sites. The main stream media is already self censoring. They refuse to report on scandals that would damage the Obama regime. A perfect example of this is the Project Gunrunner scandal. ABC has not done a single piece on this story. MSNBC has published a total of three stories on it, all of which were pro Obama and neglected to mention that guns were allowed to cross the border. Most left wing newspapers have not reported on the story at all.
What’s next?
and this had better be paid for by the DNC and not our money.
Why do this anyway when they have Soros who has paid off most media and put pressure on FOX to comply ?
Ministry of Truth
the media for the most part has been paid off by George Soros and that explains why they cover for obama, lie for him and then just ignore facts while attacking the right.
What they did to Palin was disgusting, now they’re looking at Michelle Bachmann and Christie, actually they have gone after Michelle Bachmann.
The media backed by Soros will try and back Ron paul or some other fool in our primary who has no chance of winning and then attack them.
The biggest threat to our country is the media as it is George Soros who has them doing what he wants while he leads obama
No way oabma knows what he is doing, hell he did not even know what year it was today, then there is this http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2008/05/for-obama-a-bright-sunshiny-da.html
then there is the 57 states etc.
he’s thick as a rock but a perfect puppet for Soros and Ayers etc.
I ended up writing to Mr. Lee last night on Twitter and pretty much called him something right out of Orwell’s 1984. I have 2 accounts, one with 43K and one with 3K followers. The profile with 3K was suspended this morning with no reason. I did nothing out of the ordinary to warrant it. Coinkidink? I don’t know. The one with 43K was still going strong in the afternoon today.
mmmmmmmmmmmm interesting.
We know they have folks either paid off by Soros or paid by the DNC who lurk here and other sites, taking notes.
The Dem voters , not the fools and student idiots would never vote for this dumb fool if they knew the truth but i guess that is why Soros has been paying them off and now we are being tracked.
Maybe you could post on your twitter that you will have a new account soon and then tell them why and what happened to you today.
Be interesting as to what happens then.
Remember the kid who wrote about Bin laden and then got a call from the SS with out his mother being there?
Fancy name for a propaganda minister.... =.=
What will the Propaganda Czarina say about the _resident’s stupidity during his toast to the Queen?
