The Obama campaign's press strategy focused on "making" the media cover what the campaign wanted and on exercising absolute "control" over coverage.

    • The proof is out there. I posted the link where Dunn makes the comment in a different post and it definitely speaks for itself. The notion that they would even say that is flooring.

    • Yea I don't buy it. Thats the goal of every campaign, to "control" the media. Its the media's job to get beyond that. Saying "Obama exercised absolute control over coverage" is weak. The media aren't little children, they are major corporations that have a responsibility to report the news.
