Obama Labor Official Pushes For Independent Propaganda Wing
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, November 23, 2010, 6:16 AM
The communist party’s news outlet People’s World reported on a recent speech by Carl Fillichio, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis’s senior adviser for public affairs and communications.
P/Oed Patriot discovered this speech by the Labor Department’s senior adviser for public affairs and communications on the communist website.
U.S. official: We need independent labor media
The mainstream media has become so biased against working people that even a federal agency can’t get its message out, says a senior Department of Labor official.
President Obama’s Labor Department has an impressive list of accomplishments, but most of the media doesn’t bother to report on them, Carl Fillichio, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis’s senior adviser for public affairs and communications, told the annual gathering of the International Labor Communications Association.
Referring to the midterm elections, Fillichio said, “Why we fared the way we did three weeks ago is because things weren’t explained enough to people. There is a great need for people to get the full story.”
The role of labor media is therefore all the more precious, he continued. In many cases, the only way his department can get its accomplishments known is through the independent media.
“We battle every single day when we try to put something out,” he said. “The Washington Post, the New York Times, cable television” and others want to focus only on the nuts and bolts of policy issues. “Nobody is really telling the true story about how this is going to affect real people in real time in real ways.”
Fillichio announced at the meeting that he had hired a staff person specifically to deal with labor media, and then proceeded to give his name, e-mail address and phone number to everyone in the audience.
So now we have a paid propagandist in the Obama Labor Department… Another saved or created job.
The communists are impressed anyway.

Nonsense. The reason you fared the way you did three weeks ago is because the American people DID get the full story.
They heard it loud and clear!!!

Oh, please, keep the clips and use them for the next election campaign.

So all those tens of millions you spent in union dues were not effective? Maybe hundreds of millions will work better? Or like most parasites, you just want the government to do your job for poyu. Newsflash, the government is terribly inefficient at most anything it tries. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Once they are out in the open, they do not have much time. People can see through the smoke, and they don’t like what they see. Messaging won’t work. What’s next, Commies???

Newsflash! the government is terribly inefficient at most anything it tries. It screws up almost everything. Wake up and smell the coffee. Unions have killed the golden goose; your day in the sun is coming to a close.
Big Mo commented:
Whine, whine, whine. I also guess this guy hasn;t heard of the local labor rag here in STL, the Labor Tribune, which is interchancable with DNC propaganda.
Oldpuppymax commented:
So apparently the STANDARD breathtaking, 24/7, left wing bias of the “mainstream” media is not sufficient. Now we need SPECIALIZED breathtaking, 24/7, left wing bias from the democrat party’s transcription service. And all because a few American voters actually came out of the ether.

Here’s what else the union dues are going for – trying to bury Toys R US -
Just in time for Black Friday, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union and an environmental justice group have released a report they commissioned attacking the nation’s biggest toy seller, Toys R Us and Babies R Us, for allegedly selling “toxic toys.”

Apparently they’ve been drinking their own Kool-Aid. Perhaps we can assist them in continuing to tell the public what they intend for us. It worked so well last election.

The only way for liberals to move their agenda is through darkness. It must be done at night, in the back alleys. The reason why Nov 2nd turned out the way it did is precisely because their agenda is running full volume in the MSM. The American people really aren’t as stupid as libs think. We’ll OK, 39% are (still supporting Obama).
BurmaShave commented:
Hey, Carl Fillichio, at least the state-run media does not lie about you and your “accomplishments.”
As a Tea Party supporter, I’ll tell you things could be worse for you.
Multitude commented:
It is so utterly painful watching the moderate Progressives flail around in their pre-vanguardist naivety. Don’t these idiots even read their own theory and history? Are tea party theorists the only ones who’ve actually studied Lenin, Mao, Che and Stalin, along with the realm of post-Marxist material? Apparently progressives are relegated to the Mao and Che picture books.
Lenin recognized quite quickly that Marx’s analysis that the proletariat would recognize the signals of revolution and overthrow the ruling classes was flawed; substantial post-Marxist literature equally supports this analysis. Most models after Marx proper in fact suggest that the proletariat is unable to cognitively understand the “value” of revolution and subsequently will never reach Marx’s critical mass. Lenin appropriated the Vanguard, a “helper” ruling class that would impose hierarchical control over the clueless proletariat in order to help them advance toward what they really wanted. Considerable Marxist theory works through this factor and suggests union members are little more than a likeness of Boxer of Animal Farm: clueless idiots who wouldn’t know a good revolution if it was handed to them. It requires the brilliance of Ivy League progressive elites like our current president and administration to overthrow.
It’s subsequently necessary that a second government continue to arise within our current capitalist construct, according to current progressive theory, in order to overthrow and then re-educate the proletariat. Confusion such as this nonsense from the Dept. of Labor has got to be painful to Obama, Sunstein, Dunn, Van Jones and other educated progressives.
tommy mc donnell commented:
the labor movement needs its own propaganda arm. i thought that was what american tass was doing. what the labor movement really needs is a revolution to overthrow its present marxist leaders.
Granny commented:
Multitude, there are two kinds of people who study Marx and Lenin and so on and so forth. Those who swallow the koolaid, nod their heads and proclaim the brilliance of it all and those who do as my grandchild – homeschooled by me until recently – did with her “history” book a couple of days ago: throw it across the room calling BS on the contents!

Is this another scam for all these non-talent and leeches communists/progressives feeding on taxpayers’ money?

Isn’t that already the function of NPR?

Complaining about the coverage of The Washington Post and The New York Times! These people are absolute pure SCUM.
Finncrisp commented:
Send in the clowns… Can’t wait till next year!
The more exposure the Marxist in chief gets through this blatant manipulation, the more easy it shold be ot change course in America. Propagandists are so unnecessary in a free society; what is needed is the truth.

I can see 2012 from my window.

Keep sending clowns to Washington… then don’t be surprised when a circus breaks out.

Lucky you. From my window 2012 seems to be heading off into outer space at a real steady clip. I guess I’ll be a bit surprised if we actually see an election in 2012.
Rock commented:
Hey Fillichio, WTF every media outlet in the nation but one is in the bag for you, and now you want your very own Pravda. So tell me as a Socialist motor mouth do you think the American people are going to believe you if you have your own trash talking lie merchants in our faces?
RedBeard commented:
Carl Fillichio, playing Squealer to Obama’s Napoleon at Manor Farm. I love transcriptions of the classics.
Rock commented:
A second thought here, the most intelligent (his view) man on earth as been spouting the dreams of his father almost daily from our TV’s and still the American people fail to accept his word, now some slimy bureaucrat is expected to do better. Well if so, the libs seem to have back the wrong horse in this race.
