"To have an effect, the information in this book would require widespread and favorable attention in the MSM. Being that the media is partisan, that won't happen."

You gotta' be kidding! Where's your head been since 1998? Deep freeze?

The best book promotion tool around is Talk Radio. How much did the MSM help the Swift Boat Vets?

No question the Swift Boat Vets made a difference. But don't forget, they had to run prime time ads on the MSM. Even so, because of unfavorable media coverage, there were plenty of everyday Americans wondering if those guys weren't just part of a smear campaign. They'd have made a massively larger difference had the media given them the same kind of attention it gave to reports of Bush's National Guard history.

The book and the facts in it aren't likely to be part of a national ad campaign and the MSM isn't giving it a fair hearing either.

But I hope you are right and I am wrong.
