It's terrible.
"You know, you have to admire these young college kids, who have enough courage to really put it all out on the line, and stand up in coffee houses and cafeterias and come right out in favor of the things which they know everyone is against -- like peace, brotherhood and justice. Here's a song for them ..."
LOL, Walter is ticked that after 50 years he has lost his monopoly.
His propaganda machine has a chink in it, and huge cracks will be forming soon.
Here's my definition of courage:Not waiting 2 and one-half years to correct the lies you megaphoned for Joseph A, Wilson IV about the Administration. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=4951
Not unlike the way the Washington Post and the rest of the liberal media peddle opinion as "news".
Sounds like somebody doesn't like Tony Snow and how effective he is. *snicker*
Pinko is alame excuse for a woman
What a bunch of losers.
They dis Reagan for taking a few questions and then leaving.
But what about Clinton's method? He would take a question and then use it to drone on in campaign mode against the GOP or Rush Limbaugh or whoever and take up so much time with each question that he answered very few questions in total.
Why didn't they complain about that?
Dear Walter Pink-us, you leftist jackal, I heard you on a talking head show the other day blathering yet again the Joe Wilson/David Corn talking points about Plamegate, which shows that after 3+ years and your own thoroughly dishonest reporting you STILL cannot do objective research and move past shilling for the talking points of depraved leftists. You want to pretend to be a wise sage of journalism and objectivity???? PLEASE, spare me your projectile-vomit propaganda.........
He's a little late at this. The PR presidency ended in January 2001.
Then there those of us who are ...
"Fighting Back against a PR Media!!"
How many speeches on Iraq or Social Security has Bush given that have received no MSM coverage: dozens? hundreds?
I note also that Pincus goes right from Reagan to Bush, Jr. We didn't have a President who used PR from 1993 to 2001? Is that his argument?
More transparently partisan bull----.
Good grief.
And look how his Presidency turned out compared a POTUS who was always reported to be so involved and hands on, Jimmy "Thanks for Iran You Peanut-Brained Idiot" Carter.
From what trends I have seen over the last few years, it seems the "courage" you are demanding is the courage to tell bald-faced lies to the American public to counter the growing power of the conservative media.
The biggest problem Bush has is the fact that his communications to the public at large has to be filtered through newspapers and broadcasters who are almost unanimously aligned with his political enemies.
A key political or philosophical argument gets stripped away, and all the public gets is half a minute of visual with the reporter telling you what the president supposedly said. With that kind of stranglehold on communications, the president has been hamstrung, and has been forced to find other means of getting his message out, and mostly failing.
Pincus' complaint is that their near-monopoly isn't absolute. He is calling on his journalistic brothers to have the courage to completely freeze out any communications they disagree with.
What a total pile of crybaby tripe.
Governing is leading and leading is educating. It says something about those being educated that they need a keyword cheat sheet behind the president in order to understand his message. It doesn't say anything about the president or his message.
this from a fella who pushed the Plame non-story for, what , three years and still probably doesn't know it blew up in his face.
Is this clown related to Rather?
