When They Ain't Bullshit, They're Chicken Shit

All Obama All The Time! ... The Prex was everywhere (almost) he could bend an ear yesterday ...
... except on Fox. Some campaign advisor (Axlehat?) chose to pass on the news agency that outdraws ALL THE OTHER NETWORKS COMBINED!!! Maybe because her message was always respectful, consistent and out front, Hillary Clinton had the confidance and courage to sit down and exchange ideas with Dick Scaiffe and Company (the vast right wing conspiracy foundation) AND Bill O'Reilley, the Bold Fresh Piece Of Humanity whose respect for WOMANKIND was engendered in him via a Catholic School education; the Nuns and the Community. In my years of selling, I learned one strategy for getting my message out: reach. Unlike weighing the cost-effectiveness of advertising on the news station with the biggest ratings, the White House messaging unit was faced with the decision of which of the FREE ACCESS outlets would best take their tide-turning message to the largest audience. The news program drawing that audience which represents the most skeptical, most readily turned-around potential new supporters, as opposed to preaching to the choire as it were... So ... do you go to the network you routinely bash by name in your own appearances on the networks that openly love you? Or ... do you take a shot on reaching an entirely NEW MARKET with that venue?

Might we get back to Professional Conduct of the Nation's Business? Do those of us who are participants in the process actually have someplace else to go? I can only reference the dumb-as-dirt response from the pre-election Obama Camp. Floods and fires serve as their reality alerts to all the alternatives available to the disenfranchised.

After setting the partisan world afire with speechified foolishness, the fourth estate (lower case deliberate) must now flood the scene of their crimes of omission of their journalistic responsibilities with a watered down version of the White House pitch coming from the hand-picked heir to the Kennedy Mystique. In political circles, that's known as running it up the flagpole to see who salutes.
