Former White House communications director Anita Dunn, who led the Obama administration's critiques of Fox News during its first term and lobbied against the network as "opinion journalism masquerading as news," joined HuffPost Live Wednesday to discuss the changes how the network is adjusting to a new political and demographic environment.

Dunn told HuffPost Live host Alicia Menendez that going to war with Fox News was "a simple decision, given the fact that Fox News had really been the not-so-loyal opposition since the President had taken office," and said the network's strategy was to create news stories by blurring the lines between its news and opinion divisions.
