Well, of course. This way President Platitude can say whatever he wants and not be questioned.

This article does not say they controlled the press, it says they strictly controlled their message through propaganda videos and speeches with no interviews.
This is why we kept asking questions and they went unanswered. This is why “Joe the Plumber's” question was so critical and why the campaign pilloried him with leaks to the press about his personal life. This explains why they feared Sarah Palin, she started asking questions. This explains why they hate Fox News and Glenn Beck, he is asking questions and demanding answers.
What a genius form of censorship in front of the public. It is very much like when you were a kid and questioned Mom. She might say, “Cause I said so” or “What did I say” as a statement/form of disciplinary control. You questioned her to far or refused to do what you were told...off to your room with you with no further discussion. What an absolutely brilliant way to control the press!
Their only problem is Fox News isn't going to their room. I would not say Fox is acting like a rebel teenager, but more like the other adult in the discussion questioning the actions of an out of control abusive parent. And here's the added kicker here, the breakdown of the American family that has produced the “adult children” of a dysfunctional family. A vast generation of “adult children” still needing, still looking for the parent in their lives. That substitute parent is the government, Barack 0bama. I have to admit it is an absolutely brilliant way of understanding the current American psyche.
