... The big messaging picture: "With a series of private meetings and public taunts, the White House has targeted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the biggest-spending pro-business lobbying group in the country; Rush Limbaugh, the country's most-listened-to conservative commentator; and now, with a new volley of combative rhetoric in recent days, the insurance industry, Wall Street executives and Fox News," Politico's Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen report. ...

Obama’s Desire To Control Fox News, The Media & Everything–UPDATED
Dr. Melissa Clouthier —
... The Obama administration is filled with Marxists, utopians, and workers with fluff resumés. It’s better if no one looks too closely. The president’s agenda is meeting with opposition from the American people. The only way to change that is to try to harm the messenger. Really, the only way to do that is to harm all messengers.
There is only one voice President Obama wants the American people to hear and it’s his own.

Dissent Was Patriotic -- By: Tevi Troy
The Corner on National Review Online —
Both Politico and the Washington Times's Monica Crowley have pieces about the White House's efforts to marginalize administration critics like the Chamber of Commerce and Fox News. One area not mentioned in either piece is the administration's use of this technique with respect to health-care critics. Recall that this past summer the White House established an e-mail address and website where Obama supporters could report "fishy" claims in the health-care debate. More recently, the health insurers came under fire for releasing their report ...

That there is an orchestrated effort by this administration and Congress to manage the bad news in circulation today is no surprise (all politicians do that) but the clumsiness of the Democrats' effort is stunning to many political observers. At some point in the narrative an actual rebuttal should appear. In Drudge's example, what is the administration doing about the declining dollar?
