The Old Media know that there's only one institution anywhere in the world that can equal their concentrated power to influence the opinions and behavior of men: the Roman Catholic Church. Thus, there's little mystery about its "quick-strike" policy, which merely attempts to exploit the new pontiff's early days, when he's getting adjusted to his new and awesome responsibilities.
"Ventriloquist journalism."
An apropriate phrase.
Did you coin it?
I'll be watching for more of it.
I think I coined the term. I first used it on December 9, 2004. Click on "Homepage" for the original post.
bad link. Try "homepage" on this one.
"Blogger" is unreliable as a blog hosting site. Links frequently don't work and posts often disappear. I know the post is still there, but the link remains broken.
sometimes msm/dnc is too cute for it's own good. For example, in it's desire to damage the USA, AlJazera broadcast every anti-USA protest in Iraq it could point it's cameras at.
Throughout the "Arab Street" folks marveled that the protesters were not shot, as they expected they would be if they protested their own government. It surely put ideas in their heads that cause the local tyrants to tremble.
Hmmm... the spread of liberty in the middle east.... maybe those NeoCons were on to something!
Cannot fix the link for "ventriloquist journalism". Haloscan keeps cutting off the "l" at the end of "html".
