Deputy national security adviser for strategic communications Ben Rhodes orchestrated an 'echo chamber' of media support for Obama's Iran deal
He spoke candidly about his tactics to a New York Times Magazine writer
Tactics included planting talking points with compliant reporters
Also helped arms-control experts land in influential positions where they could parrot the White House's line on the deal's virtues
Even then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta now says he's not sure the president's aims were what the White House said they were at the time
White House routinely 'ventriloquizes' reporters, the Times story explains
The Obama White House set up an 'echo chamber' of planted experts to control the public discussion about the president's slow-brewing nuclear deal with Iran last year, according to the puppetmaster behind the program.
Ben Rhodes, the administration's top foreign-policy messaging expert, deployed 'legions of arms-control experts' to propagandize about the virtues of the controversial agreement, The New York Times Magazine will report on Sunday.
The anointed academics and think-tankers fed favorable information to reporters via interviews and social media onslaughts, making the case for an outcome that generated outrage among conservatives and horrified Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
'We created an echo chamber,' Rhodes admitted in the 10,000 word profile of his internal role as a stand-in for Obama on all things that extend past the water's edge.
'They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.'
The administration chose not to engage the media directly in the first critical days after details what it called the 'Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action' hit the public airwaves.
Instead it dominated the national discussion through proxies, recognizing that it needed a swarm of support in order to distract reporters and editors from the ground-breaking nature of what was going on.

White House BRAGS about how it tricked reporters into cheerleading for Obama's Iran nuclear deal by creating a media 'echo chamber'
High crimes and misdemeanors.
Most of the media circus is such a bunch of lapdogs that Obama could take a dump on the stage, tell them to eat it and they would line up for their turn.
Considering the IQ’s of most in the media, it probably wasn’t hard to do.
Regarding the politico-journalist industrial complex: distrust and verify.
And the reason Trump is where he is has been his ability to control the Press as well.
Obama is a true muslim.
He not only takes a dump on the useful idiots who enable him.
He then has his henchmen feed it to them.
Then they thank him for it and beg for more.
During a future Administration, Ben Rhodes and his fellow travelers should be hunted down, arrested and tried for crimes against humanity all those who are going to die because of his perfidy.
He didn’t have to trick anyone. He just had to tell his toads in his “media” what he needed them to do to help him pull off his scam against the American people.
Did Ben Rhodes just pull a Gruber?
I agree .. I don’t think Obama “tricked” anybody.
They all went to the slaughterhouse willingly.
Arrogance will out....
Valerie Jarrett strikes again.
That is a classic false analogy. Joseph Goebbles is much closer.
There needs to be a “list” for when the SHTF............
Making up stories and publishing false facts as true is on a whole different plane than publishing your opinion.
It’s easy to fool a group of indoctrinated boobs who never cared to learn how to think critically.
You’d think the companies that pay them would be embarrassed and at least force them to do some remedial reading, but apparently not.
THose taqiyya Mooslims are so smart.
