Politico reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel holds daily chit chat sessions with several Old Media pals every morning to start his day. Apparently Emanuel has for years been involved with daily bull sessions to plan media coverage and ideological strategy with CNN's James Carville and Paul Begala, as well as ABC's George Stephanopoulos, with the occasional participation of pollster Stan Greenberg. But there is one little problem with this daily palling around with mediots these days: Emanuel now works for the White House.
As Politico's John Harris notes, "in any given news cycle, it is quite likely that Washington’s prevailing political and media interpretation -- at least on the Democratic side -- is being hatched on these calls." In light of this early morning scheming, one has to wonder where the supposed autonomy of the media is if they are being programed by the Obama White House in off the record, secret and daily conversations? Where is their objectivity if these media mavens are all assisting Emanuel mould and shape the news to further a specific ideological goal?

After 8 years of dems accusing President Bush and Republicans of "politicizing" everything this is rich but no surprise.
Does anyone doubt that everything O is near (DoD,CIA,FBI..) will be part of a political machine?
It is his heritage from Chicago.
Dark times ahead.

Russia had Pravda, here we have the MSM.

The propaganda machine must be told which lies are fit to print.

Rahm is the new Rove.

:yawn:
Whuh? Yawn, *scratches head in waking up*
You mean Rahm Emanuel is in bed with Paul Begala and James Carville? And they're discussing the Lies of the Day?
Wake me up when this is splashed across the front page of the New York Slimes.
*goes back to sleep*

Objective press coverage? It is to laugh.

Indeed, but, oh, the hypocrisy of the "New Politician," of the "transparent New Politician."
You wonder: When, if ever, will the 63 million who voted for the Obama come to realize that he's as sleazy and corrupt as that cesspool that bred him in Chicago?
And that he is the darkest of the Democrats, liberals and leftists -- and I do not mean skin color, but motivation, ethics and morality?
And that he is surrounded by those of his morally anchorless, freedom-hating, anti-American, anti-Constitution stripe?

They'll figure it out when they stop blaming Booooosh for everything.

Not all of the people that voted for Der Fuhrer blame Bush for everything, just a hell of a lot of them. They'll never stop blaming Boooosh for anything.

That was my point. :-)

You may be right. Probably are.
But what's the probability of them ever stopping thier blame of President Bush for everything?
That's right: About as near to zero as you can get. Maybe zero.
So that means that they likely will never awaken.

I think that sooner or later, that will backfire on obama. emmanuel was the biggest leaker in DC during the klinton administration, and whenever the going got difficult, emmanuel was always out for himself instead of the clenis.

I wonder if he's the one they caught hiding under his desk telling secrets to some journalist?

Why do you think I changed my avatar to the character of Number 6 from the TV show "THE PRISONER". We are just as much in "The Village" now as Patrick McGoohan ever was

Obama has the media on his side. He needs to keep them there. That's what this is.
