Anita Dunn to Step Down

Was face of administration’s war against Fox.

OutFoxed? White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, the face of the Obama administration’s war against Fox News, will step down at the end of the month. It may appear as though this is another scalp for Glenn Beck and crew—they recently had been attacking Dunn for quoting Chairman Mao favorably—but, according to The Washington Post, Dunn was only serving on an interim basis and that this move was expected all along. She will hand power over to Dan Pfeiffer, her deputy. Dunn will return to Squier Knapp Dunn, the consulting firm where she is a partner. She will continue to consult the White House on communications and strategic matters.
