The Emerging Media Strategy

May 01, 2009

To the untrained eye, the White House’s media strategy for the first 100 days has been relatively simple – put the President in front of the cameras every chance you get. But L.A. Times reporter Peter Wallsten explains there’s more to it than that.

Finally OTM looks behind the curtain and surprisingly finds that President Obama's executive experience is manufactured. This is even more surprising when Mr. Obama is "heading" the executive branch of American government.

As usual, Brook makes snide remarks about Fox News and the Bush administration, but fails to see that Obama has NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NPR, NYT, etc, etc on his side.

Don't know about that.

As I keep repeating, I'm fairly certain I experienced his executive experience in action a decade ago. Found him more impressive than either Clinton, any Bush and, certainly, a Reagan or a Ford. Carter seems to have gotten executive authority under control, since he left office, anyway.

Oh, the Bushes are good at subterfuge.

Brooke's lame Fox comments are really tiresome. I get the feeling that she subscribes to the view that if she repeats the same opinion over-and-over enough then she won't have to establish its basis.

Remind me which week Brooke and Bob showed up only part-time, cuz so far this show is a retread of well-worn, though poorly supported, territory.

Fairly certain, must have been quite an impression...
