The Wright-wing attack on Obama's campaign has been executed with a precision that must make Karl Rove downright envious! (If he did NOT coordinate it.) A well-structured national publicity campaign like the anti-Obama project that is so-effectively utilizing Wright is NOT suddenly created by random whim. Think about it: 1. What does it take to get someone booked for a highly-desirable, much-sought, hard-to-get, nationally-aired Bill Moyers interview? 2. What sort of organizational contacts and advance planning does it take to get scheduled as the lead speaker at an NAACP convention attended by 2,000 people? 3. How much media clout does it take to get multiple members of the media (at least the two Wright called by name from CNN) to join a publicity-seeker on a flight to Washington DC? 3. How much lead-time and contacts are required to get someone booked as a speaker before the National Press Club in Washington DC? Did the organizers simply rent the Press Club room, or was it sponsored by the Press Club? 4. How much more coordination is needed to line-up a cadre of enthusiastic Ahmen-shouting supporters to attend that Press Club talk, where seating is always limited? 5. Even more important - who has the connections and clout to make ALL of that happen within three days of each other?! And so carefully for crucial state primaries? 6. And finally, who can FINANCE such nontrivial coordination, book multiple flights, hotels, etc., for the mouthpiece AND his press entourage, AND line-up his cheering section that we heard at the Press Club? Is a retired minister for a black church in Chicago likely to have all those connections, spare cash, and clout - to organize all of that into a 3-day sequence timed for crucial primaries? NOT likely! So ... who has the most to gain AND has exactly that kind of cash, contacts and organizational expertise? The press should find out, and tell us who orchestrated it: 1. Ask Moyers' producers how and when the initial contacts were made. 2. Ask the NAACP organizing committee the same questions. 3. Ask the National Press Club's management who did what, when. We, the People, NEED to be more than uninformed sheep to be herded. We need to know TIMELY details about exactly who is orchestrating our "news" ... and our lives! (Ask all of YOUR favorite media contacts.) --jim; Jim Warren; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Warren ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
