[Cicero]

It's difficult when the press is filled with liars and political prostitutes.

[Bernard Marx]

Having once been a reporter, though not the kind you mention, I know the problem full well. But there are ways of making certain an event is covered by the media if sufficient energy -- and ingenuity -- are expended.

The Republicans seem dedicated to refusing to learn how to coopt the media. David Horowitz's "The Art of Political War" has been adopted by Karl Rove and partially explains his great success in keeping the Dems off-balance. But Republicans at large seem to be oblivious of obvious things they could do to get the truth out.
