Former ThinkProgress Writer: White House Censored Us...

It's downright dangerous for anyone in the American Press to criticize the Dear Leader. Even some of his fellow Communists in the Press are beginning to speak about it.


‘Suffocating pressure’: Former ThinkProgress writer describes White House ‘censorship’

Zaid Jilani, a former blogger with the left-wing think tank Center for American Progress, explained this week how the Obama administration frequently tries to censor the progressive organization’s content when it departs from the White House’s agenda.

Jiliani was reacting to two on-air protests by journalists opposed to Russia’s invasion of southern Ukraine. The two worked for Russia Today (RT) — an English-speaking media outlet funded directly by Moscow — and felt their bosses were trying to censor their opinions.

In a post titled, ”How Working in Washington Taught Me We’re All A Little Like RT America,” Jilani explained how the White House frequently played the part of the Kremlin — leaning on management to push their writers in a particular direction, and punishing them if they strayed from the party line.

“I’m writing this post to explain how working in Washington taught me we’re all a little bit like the good folks who work at RT America,” Jilani explained, “struggling against editorial censors, doing our best to follow our conscience despite sometimes suffocating pressures from our publishers and sponsors.”

The blogger never assumed he would agree with everything pushed by the Center for American Progress’s Action Fund when he joined the 501(c)(4) nonprofit to write about national security in 2009. But he soon discovered that one topic in particular was entirely shielded from criticism — the war in Afghanistan, which President Obama was then in the process of escalating.

“One of the controversial topics that was very constrained in our writing at ThinkProgress in 2009 was Afghanistan.,” he wrote. “CAP had decided not to protest Obama’s surge, so most of our writing on the topic was simply neutral — we weren’t supposed to take a strong stand.”...

The WhiteHouse's tentacles go into every media corner, nook, and cranny. Its not nice to rock Comrade Barack's boat. Cheryl Atkisson, gone from CBS. Comrade Obama's had that particular burr under his saddle since "Fast and Furious". Betcha he called Reggie for a date to celebrate when he heard the news and asked him to bring a five gallon pail of KY Jelly.

I'll send you data in a couple of days that proves how you can buy an election one advertisement at a time.

Up here and Chicago for example A very long cold crappy winter from hell. I've been busy.

Doesn't matter.

the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM is what they is... They will NEVER turn on their masters.

Never.

For every 'journalist' (I use the term advisedly) that gets sick and tired of the corruption and lies of the dimocrap machine and leaves....?

There's ten other bright little socialist crusaders willing to take their place.

the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM won't ever change.

What needs to change is us.

We need to learn to ignore them. And to understand them for what they are... The propaganda arm of the DNC.

Hmmmm..... a 501 c non-profit. I wonder how long the IRS would hold up their status?

Even if we go screaming and crying and crashing over the lack of journalistic integrity, think of the basics people.

Money talks. I'm about to do a big bust up here where you can equate dollars to donuts to monies spent and pro government editorials.

They are so easy to catch out.

You have to move on it though.

I became frozen in time a couple of years back when I lost American Bad Ass and Dusty Roads back to back right after Pyewacket this cat I'd had for 21 years and then lost my foundation ***** Ruby Starr a year later. Man oh man I fell apart big time. My personal life was crushing me.

Bless this board. It was a life line.

You have to rebound though. And fight the good fight. And the best thing about USMB is somehow I can hook up with an uber lib like george phillips who gets what I do on the new UK team that had the snipers from Banderas fans to actually having a laugh with franco.

We really are lucky people.
