See my post #336. He should go as often as he needs to in addition to his weekly radio address. The WH must recognize that they are in a propaganda war with the Dems. The stakes are too high not to marshall every asset it can to counter the misinformation that abounds.
Yes, he has the bully pulpit. He can address the nation on TV in prime time and has. He holds televised press conferences. He gives his weekly radio address. He can arrange for televised interviews. It is far too easy to blame the MSM, which is definitely biased. There are other ways to communicate using the new media. The old media is declining in the number of viewers and readers. Its influence is on the wane.
The DBM are cutting off his message to the people. He may hold press conferences but only 10 to 15 seconds of it, if any, gets on the air, and it's the sound bite that the DBM chooses. If he asks for prime time access now I think it's clear the DBM will turn him down. After all, he's not one of the top 100 most influential people. Time said so.
But there are alternative media and the old media's influence is on the wane. His video visit with the milbloggers this week was an excellent example. He needs to reach out to the new media in a big way in the next 18 months.
Tony would be a great conduit to do that, IMHO.

Do you have any knowledge of radio stations that actually play his radio address? I live in the people’s republic of Maryland, so do not know of any stations that carry it.
What exactly is “as often as he needs to” mean? Once a week, his own channel, Larry King, Jon Stewart, Oprah? What?
He has public appearances with press attendance about three times every day. How many of his remarks make it onto the evening news?
