Are the conference organizers doing all the right PR stuff to attract the attention of the local media?

I worry conservatives sometimes think that media coverage "just happens." Nope, you have to cultivate contacts, play nice, and tell the MSM what's in it for them. Just look at CBS4's Misty Montano and what she has to sort through.

That said, what are the good conservative news outlets in Colorado? The blogs seem to be underused. I follow #redco and #cotcot on twitter, but there is little there either.

Thanks for the comment, D-O.
The secret’s out. The media have just been “ripping and reading” for a long time. PR operations have added to their laziness. TV and paper media have become addicted to AP packaged news and press releases. They just repeat what they receive. If it’s a conservative source, they scoff; if it’s a liberal source, they drink the cool-aide and pass the cup on to their viewers/listeners.

Misty Montano confirms how lazy they are. She complains that she can’t work through all the spoon feeding she gets from press releases and now the social networks.

Every day they expose their laziness and bias by by not reporting or mis-reporting one of the biggest stories of the century. Who needs a dope like Misty to report from her favorite news sources when we can all have our own raw news sources. Technology has caught up with the lying media.
