Just in time for the 2012 election, President Obama has established a new position within the communications department. The Director of Progressive Media and Online response is the spiffy new title held by Jesse Lee. Yes, Lee is the new Unfavorable online media czar, and that means you, you bunch of conservative bloggers, you.
Huffington Post reports that Lee will be responsible for suppressing any stories about Obama that aren’t true. Does this mean stories that the White House deems to be untrue or stories that are actually, truly untrue? Pretty much anything ever reported about Obama in a negative light, they’ve responded by saying that it’s not true.
The unfavorable online media czar is the unaccountable head of the new White House online rapid response team.
Lee has played that role in the past, including writing a semi-infamous White House blog post that said Fox News’ Glenn Beck was lying about the administration on his show. His new gig comes with its own Twitter account, precisely for the purposes of disseminating push back.
So get ready conservative pundits and bloggers, the new unfavorable online media czar may be refuting your stories coming soon to a Tweet near you.
UPDATE: Linked by Instapundit! Welcome readers of the Blogfather! Thank you Glenn.
UPDATE II: Interesting. Guess who Jesse Lee is married to?
