The White House said that it tells the media what they would like the Media to report. Losing Freedom of the Press would be if the Government shut down & silenced any voice of opposition. Giving strong indication of what news media say is not the same as silencing the opposition with the full weight of the Government's iron boot.
Eliminating freedom of the press would be exemplified by doing something like silencing Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, & Glen Beck because the Government doesn't like what they say. The video seems to indicate that the Government would like to strongly suggest what News media friendly to the Administration would be encouraged to report. Loss of Freedom of the press would be if a newspaper published something the Government didn't like & the Government went there, closed the paper down, put the Editor in jail, locked up & condemned the building, etc.
This is a far cry from loss of Freedom of the Press

It is not freedom of the press when he controls it and wants to silence any opposing views. He is not a President but a dictator and he is going to be stopped one way or another. Believe that.

President Bush never cared about the opposition, he never dictated who could say what or try to silence the opposition,Obama is a wimp who cannot handle anything said against him. Typical of liberal Presidents.They are on a stage and want applause,a standing ovation. It's appalling people actually voted for him because he is black. I wonder what next black star will be put on the stage to give some great speech that make mens leg tingle ? I hope he or she is able to string a sentence together without reading it from two teleprompters.

For anybody to deny this is not freedom of the press is too far up Obamas ass to admit any truth.
