It's a power grab against the 1st amendment is all it is.

The Bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding Bureaucracy.White House Adds New Position to Deal with Unfavorable Online Media
By Chris O'Shea on May 23, 2011 2:32 PM
Hmmmm sounds like something that should be handled by the DNC or obama's reelection committee. Who is paying Mr Lee's salary?The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obamas online presence as he prepares for his reelection bid, and squashing any negative stories:
The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has usually been outsourced to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), if not done on an ad-hoc basis by administration officials. And it signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive defense of the president and his policies as his re-election campaign gears up.
Ah, yes! Expanding the role of government. Create one government job, lose to private sector jobs (or more)!
And from our "What else is new?" department...It's a power grab against the 1st amendment is all it is.
I'm thinking that Mr. Lee will not be spending much time excoriating barack obama for his less than accurate statements.Ok, so what does this mean, exactly? How does it work? Which online sources does that guy get to patrol? And what? Forums, blogs, Facebook? Opinions pieces? Pictures that people make?
Or is this in just the mainstream media?
Is it that people are going to be able to negatively comment or represent anyone who is going up against Obama, but anything negative about him is doing to "be dealt with" ?

Sure, I'll accept your transfer from the short bus.yeah, this isn't as snappy a title as Reichminister of Propaganda.

Oh noes! I Godwinned another thread! YAAAAYYY the leftists don't have to defend their messiah's stupid propaganda actions anymore because I Godwinned the thread!
PS: For those who are terminally slow, I'm making fun of the need for the position, the duties of the position, the semantics of the position, the abilities of the position, the intelligence of it's defenders and the general concept that this is more useful than chicken shit on a pump handle by a guy who can't handle criticism in any form. NOT that I think the guy's a nazi. Just a stupid political move.
And yet..you bring up a nazi.
Cute.
