	"Progressive Media" - A PR War Room for Obama
	Submitted by John Stauber on March 28, 2009

Liberal think tanks and advocacy organizations formed during the Bush/Cheney 
regime are working in close and well-funded coordination as a PR messaging 
machine for the Obama Administration's foreign and domestic policies. A 
Washington Post blog noted that the Center for American Progress is now running 
Progressive Media which was begun by Tom Matzzie and David Brock in 2008 and now 
"represents a serious ratcheting up of efforts to present a united liberal front 
in the coming policy wars." Progressive Media is a joint project with CAP and 
Brock's Media Matters Action Network and "headed by well-known liberal operative 
Tara McGuinness." Matzzie recently reminisced about his work with MoveOn's "Tara 
McGuinness, Eli Pariser and others" organizing Americans Against Escalation in 
Iraq. Today MoveOn, USAction and others in that coalition are working hard to 
push Obama's policies, including rationalizlng or defending his escalation of 
the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan as "sustainable security."
