Obama senior adviser laments Drudge Report effect on the news (Boo Hoo!)
Washington Examiner ^ | 04/03/2013 | Examiner Staff

Posted on 04/03/2013 8:23:26 AM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

During a Playbook Breakfast event with Politico’s Mike Allen, White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer lamented the effect of the Drudge Report on the news cycle.

“This is less true now than it was, but there is a pavlovian response from some media outlets,” Pfeiffer explained, noting that reporters often ask questions about a topic just because its on the Drudge Report.

Pfeiffer added that when he is asked about something on the Drudge Report he usually ridicules the reporter asking the question until they sheepishly back down.

Get used to it Obamadork minion.

The MSM is rightly being recognized as the low-IQ bottom-O-the-SAT-barrel dwellers that they really are.

The only degree more worthless than one in journalism is one with the word “studies” in it.

This is the commie rat bastard's administration in a nutshell. And the press are a bunch of pu**ies and cowards who are largely responsible for the downfall of a once great nation.

Drudge: doing the job the state-run media won't do.

Dan Pfeiffer: Pfeiffer said that the Drudge effect can be damaging to the White House effort to communicate their message ... Pfeiffer continued. “It hurts what we’re trying to do ..."

Funny. I don't recall the WH press corp ever worrying about this during the Bush admin. And why do I think that Pfeiffer includes the media when he says "what we're trying to do"?

They’re angry. It used to be that the news programs and local papers and tv news would target the day’s programming of “news” around the stories in the pages of the NYTimes and WashPost. Now, they are angry that dyed in the wool leftist a aren’t completely in charge of the daily spin on behalf of libdems.

So tell us Dan why you separated from your wife after five years of marriage? Did you finally discover you wanted to play for the other team?

I hope he continues to hurt hard, and hurt often.

This is how the liberals/progressives respond to reports, facts, and logic about issues -— with ridicule, and without answers!!!

Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals: RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

You are absolutely correct. The MSM is terrified of being ridiculed or castigated by the Obama administration. If they had an ounce of integrity, they would ridicule Pfeiffer for refusing to answer the question.

They are so hamstrung by political correctness that they have become nothing but propaganda organs for the Obama regime.
