Answer the &$%#* Question!

[tech3149]

After seeing the reaction to the smirking chimps press conference today, I tracked down this article that I read the other night. It shows how the training of politicians and business leaders can direct their response toward their interest. The other problem is that the structure of the "press conference/briefing" and the time limits don't allow multiple probing questions. This bonzo doesn't even want a follow-up question. We've got to learn and teach the techniques that they use and the most effective ways to counter them. This article should be informaative.

There was something else I read the other night that would add to the toolbox, if I find the link, I'll add it to the post.

HIH,

2. first and last you depend on yourself

Don't count on the press to grow a set. I just want to see people improve their BS detectors and learn how to fight back.

3. The press is dead

it's now up to us.

That means doing whatever you can to educate and inform the masses. Anything from posting on DU, putting fliers on cars, talking loud about Bush when you on the check out line at the store, we need to tell people what is going on. Even when they don't want to hear it.
