9:30ish on the East Coast...is there an actual optimum time to release a newsy bomb? Before lunch, after lunch? Mid afternoon? What the latest a boom can go off and still make the evening news?
Evening news is so last century. With CNN and Fox and MSNBC and 24 hour coverage I would think the earlier the better. Give it an entire day's worth of news cycles.
If it ain’t on the evening news, it ain’t gonna happen today.
Well let’s see...Clinton and Obama are scheduled to speak live this morning at AIPAC- so I guess it depends on how long or how important those speeches are considered.
I’d think before lunch is best- plenty of time to get the afternoon talk-radio and cable shows fired up..
But while the hype continues- it’s all quiet on the Tape Dump Front.
Late Friday afternoon, so nobody will be paying attention. It worked for the Clintons.
