he should be doing interviews with Rush and Hannity et al each week - friendly forums. Our side has to do what it can to build up the so-called "alternative" media, since we have no hope of getting anything except lies and distortion from the mainstream media. He ought to do Letterman also. Bring Rollins in, don't fire Rove, let him make coffee in the war room.
I imagine we will see him on Letterman but personally I find that diguting.
But you are still not talking to my point. Laura Bush was on a late night show last week. What good did it do? Again and with all due respect, there is a crisis here that you are not addressing and your strategies will fall woefully short.
And I do not understand your animus toward Rove. He is not calling all the shots. It may be that you are too mired in the older media consciousness. That is just this issue. Can we collectively see through this in this time of great change and even greater peril. Are we in the middle of some sort of national menopause (or perhaps senility?)
You think it is merely PR strategy and I am suggesting that it may be a wider issue. That is not to say that Bush could not communicate better. But in any event he will never get a fait shake. I do not see how they will ever win by playing the media's game.
You say get out there but we have seen coordinated efforst where in the space of days Powell, Cheney, Rice and the like hit the circuit and talk the same point. We had this week about DDay. What play foes it get? You seem not to get my point. How does one win here when the media is so hostile?
