Thing is; it’s now the middle of September and this is the first I’m hearing of it, and here. Not on any MSM site that I’ve been to. Conservative ones included.
It’s because there’s so many of them. The commemorative month/ day/ year has gotten so over used it’s worthless. Unless it involves one of those really smart charities that knows how to play the PR game and use their month well. It gets even more ridiculous that it just STARTS at the national level. States and cities and counties do them too. Next month Tech Writer month in AZ, I know this because I have a friend who work on the tech writer conference in Phoenix every year and one of her jobs is to go to the AZ governor website every year and fill out the web form necessary to get the month declared.
In the end it’s all about pandering. And any group you can name IS being pandered to. Of course now so many groups get pandered to it generates so much noise there’s actually a good chance to miss when your group is being pandered to.
