Two phrases to remember when thinking about this administration.
Perception Management: The art of making even negative stories about you or your toadies look like they are positive ones.You do this by having your mouthpiecs twist facts,slinging mud at your opponents and simply ignoring facts and launching a new hysteria for the media to follow.i.e. Creating anew reality.

Total Information Dominance: Not giving the other side of the story any play on TV or the written media.You do this by flooding the media with your attack dogs like Coulter, hannity, limbaugh or what have you say anything that comes to their head without fear of contradiction.

3. here more of mapping their method:

saturating the media with stories, 24/7; staying on message; staying ahead of the news cycle; managing expectations; and finally, being prepared to "use information to attack and punish critics. (and as per below, "If a story supports policy, even if incorrect, let it stay around." )
