White House regrets failure to do more blog outreach.
White House regrets failure to do more blog outreach.
White House communications aides are expressing regret for failing to utiltize bloggers as a way to “catapult Bush’s propaganda.” Bulletin News (sub. req.) reports:
“We didn’t use the new tools of communication” like the Internet, blogs and mobile technology, said a former key official. As a result, added another official, the President’s message was filtered through the mainstream press which eventually got bored with the story and stopped reporting the President’s repetitive messages. “You’ve got to use the new tools. They can reach far more people than TV or the papers,” said an administration official. “A video on the Internet or some blogging can reach millions and we should have played with that much more,” said the official. White House insiders, however, dismissed the complaints, mostly from former communications officials, claiming that they have worked with bloggers and non-traditional media but that the tide has turned against them.

Well, I actually respected the White House for not using blogs. They are obviously mere propaganda machines (e.g. TP).
I just hope if they do, they will keep things tasteful and on track.
May 31st, 2007 at 6:56 pmYeah, cuz that's the one thing missing that would have brought us over to the dark side. Uh huh....
May 31st, 2007 at 6:57 pmheh, they likely are more regretful that the liberal blogs have taken off and are quite efficient boring holes in their propaganda. The right wing blogs, of course, have from the beginning been the tool of this white house and continue to be echo chambers.
May 31st, 2007 at 6:58 pmMaybe they wish they could place filters on the internet and block any information that wasn't friendly towards dear leader.
White House insiders, however, dismissed the complaints, ... claiming that they have worked with bloggers and non-traditional media but that the tide has turned against them.
Yeah, a continuous stream of massive policy and executive f*ckups will have that effect.

You respect propaganda if it's not on a whitehouse blog but in mainstream media?

Man, that's an ignorant point of view. How are blogs as a communications medium inherently useful merely as "propaganda machines"?
And since when has BushCo shied away from any tool useful for "catapulting the propaganda"?

Well, take a good look at this thread, and the one before it and the one before that etc. etc. ad infinitum.
If you have a firm grip on reality, you will notice that TP promotes anarchy and anti-american sentiment. I don't claim to know what is behind all of their spin, but it ain't wholesome I can tell ya that.
It is for that reason that I do not want to see the govt involved with this type of shit.
May 31st, 2007 at 7:14 pmActually they did and do use blogs. The republicons and RNC have regularly fielded seminars for rightwing bloggers, and if you look at conservative vs progressive blogs, the conservative actually outnumber the progressives - though the progressives have far higher traffic numbers. And it doesn't take a genius to figure out that all these trolls on different forums and sites come from somewhere, and its not a wild guess that the ones working fulltime are probably getting paid to do it. Don't be fooled.

May 31st, 2007 at 7:22 pmThis is another Rovian distraction tactic.
The White House has been HITTIN the BLOGS HARD -- but showing few results. They were even paying pundits for that. With taypayer dollars.
So the heart of this ridiculous suggestion is to refocus the debate to suggest that -
1/The President still has some avenues to communicate credibly (he doesn't).
2/The President still has something worthwhile to say (he doesn't).
Try again, Dan Bartlett.

I REALLY would like it if you would be specific about this. Please give us specific examples of promotion of anarchy and anti-american sentiment on TP. But, frankly, if your examples are going to be news about congressional oversight hearings or pointing out decisions by this administration which we believe harm our country, then don't bother.

Mr. President, sir, I fear it's a waste of time trying to explain this concept to an individual of your evident intellectual capability, but you essentially stated at the top of the thread that blogs were de facto instruments of propaganda.
Some use them as propaganda, sure. Some even see truth as propaganda, when it doesn't suit their worldview (yes, you).
But there is nothing inherent in the form of a blog that makes it unsuitable for truthful reporting or wtachdog functions or any other purpose. Why, I hear there are even sites on the web that offer entertainment!
A blog is just as useful and respectable a medium as the humans who run it demand that it be. Some bloggers have impeccable journalistic credentials and adhere scrupulously to the highest ethics. Some report whatever trash they think will help their side and then slink away when they are proven wrong (see the "Valerie Plame is not covert" crowd, for instance).
But your statement that blogs are necessarily propaganda is just ignorant.

This part is true, there is nothing inherent. But, in the actual use of blogs this statement:
"But your statement that blogs are (?) propaganda is just ignorant."
can't be supported.
- I don't think I used the word "necessarily" although, I will reread my posts.

This is your being specific about "anarchy" and "anti-American sentiment?" Is this actually the best you can do to provide actual examples? If so, I guess you're just around to flame on the board, right?
May 31st, 2007 at 7:59 pmThese guys really are pathological liars, aren't they? There's no other way to explain such a claim when they only occupy their positions because of their blatant and obvious use of blogs and forums to get their propaganda out. Conventional wisdom says they don't care about the truth, but I think it's worse than that. They actively seek out new truth to contradict, just for the hell of it. It's like a sport, like they're in a contest to see who can get their mouthpieces in the right-wing blogosphere to repeat the most blatantly untrue claim. Unfortunately, that well of dishonesty seems to have no bottom.

No. My claim is that the majority of threads on TP promote anarchy and anti-american sentiment by reporting such stories as "the dude who has TB" in such a way that it seems as though there is a major flaw in system.

May 31st, 2007 at 8:47 pmPlease read your own post if you meant otherwise.
Mr. P - The beauty of TP, from a conservative point of view, is the abject FAILURE of Progs and Leftards to glean anything useful from the opposition. If you notice, NOTHING POSITIVE re: "Progressives" is featured. The only thing J*hn P*desta and gang have done "correctly" is learn to throw mud balls in a bigger arena. But they do NOT give the AVERAGE American (who is not entrenched in politics as most posters here) a REASON to embrace the LEFT with their VOTE.
Keep up the good work TP! You're nothing if not predictable!!

This country has some serious freaking problems which the so-called "liberal news media" isn't reporting and some of us still cling to the quaint and outdated notion that journalists have an obligation to the public to be objective and critical.

Comment by JTitor — May 31, 2007 @ 8:41 pm
Sure.
The thread's title is:
“CDC’s Ability To Respond To Tuberculosis Scare Hampered By Bush’s Budget Cutsâ€
meaning that Bush has prevented the CDC from doing all that they needed to do.
However, when you follow the link that pertains to the CDC's ability, you read that this was the first situation of it's kind and that many ethicists commend the CDC's response. It was (at least) one (meaning, only one that they know of) critic who was not pleased.
TP's title is misleading because this was the first of this kind of situation, and unless Bush can see the future, his actions can not be construed as deliberately undermining the CDC's efforts to respond. Additionally, TP has not shown that the *CDC's* efforts were hampered at all. If anything it was airline security.
May 31st, 2007 at 9:22 pmActually, I was wrong. The dissenting critic actually thought that the CDC *did too much*:
"While many infectious-disease experts and ethicists supported the agency’s action, at least one strongly criticized it as over-reacting."

For someone who doesn't care, you surely do hang on TP constantly, ready to ejaculate the moment that a new thread pops up. I can just see you sitting there with 10 windows open on three screens, continuously clicking "refresh" with one hand, while the other hand.... ewwwww.... nevermind.

After my 1st two posts (#13 and #18) it became immediatly that Mr. P's only interest was throwing mud till something stuck and s/he could start some sort of meaningless argument for the rest of the thread. He was clearly flaming the initial posters so the rest of the discussion would turn into a two-way dispute about something other than the topic - and that is clearly the case now.
Plain and simple, Mr P is a troll/hack flaming a thread about WH regretting not doing enough blog outreach. Anyone see the irony in that. Ignore him and post about the article.

May 31st, 2007 at 9:40 pmyeah, thats the problem with bushes message-the public just hasnt heard the shit weve been hearing everyday for 6 years enough. they have a 24 hour news network, 54,000 right-wing wackos on the radio, thousands of winger bloggers, 5000 newspapers and magazines, hundreds of winger think tanks, thousands of tv pundits, 2 books released everyday and 10s of thousands of churches filtering bushes message. if it could only be more. yeah, then the public might hear what bush has to say. WRONG!! people just are deaf now. thats what happens when you constantly lie, then tell people that what you said before isnt what you said. no because you see it was all taken out of context. its like that gary larson funny. the one where the dog's owner is yelling at the dog and all the dog hears is blah, blah, blah, ginger, blah, blah, ginger.....

Look douche, it was the patient who acted irresponsibly here, not the CDC and definitely not Bush.
Or perhaps the man should have been shackled or detained in some way?
Bush could probably cough up some cash for that.
Anyway, think before you jump to conclusions, read the articles and the post carefully, and before you respond ask yourself:
"Is this something that I am just assuming, or is it actually written in a post or article?"
If you can manage to follow these three simple steps, then maybe next time you'll have a logical argument.
