Yes, people laugh and snicker when you say the government controls the media. The media swears it doesn't have an agenda and that it's independent, but the reality is that the government says to stop calling something "swine flu" and start calling it "H1N1". Obama and congress stop calling the new government managed healthcare, "government healthcare" or "single payer" because these aren't working well with the public even though they're the most accurate, so they start calling it health insurance reform. This of course makes it sound like they're going to fix the healthcare insurance that's already there rather than replace it with government healthcare and the media dutifully starts calling it what the government want them to call it.
Many of the "Townhalls" that Obama puts on seem like they're amazing for him. Normal people can't help but wonder where the hard questions are. But no one is willing to believe they are actually staged. It is no better than Pravda, They choose the people and the questions knowing what they are in advance and making sure only those questions they want are asked.
Check out the following clip. The reporters are a little annoyed but still they don't press it or put any ongoing pressure on Obama or the government.
