While I hate to start the day thinking about the used-to-be-mainstream-media and their chronic slanted reporting, until the President COMMUNICATES more with the American public, they will still have a huge audience.
You know that he is in front of cameramen and reporters every day. He takes questions every day. What they choose to share with the public is their control over what Americans learn from the President on a daily basis.
When Clinton was in office, he strolled out to a podium in the Rose Garden just about every afternoon. His face and his message led the news almost every night. Because the media wanted Americans to hear Clinton's message.
Every half-hour radio news would use the audio clip of the day for the next 24 hours. So it is natural for Americans, who rarely hear Bush's voice, to think he is not saying anything publicly.
What kind of interaction with the public
****until the President COMMUNICATES more with the American public****
do you think would work best t get past the bottleneck?
until shareholders in mainstream media companies sue for the consequences of journalistic malpractice on their holding's values, their business viability will remain intact.
