The right's got a propaganda machine that is very, very good. Is it wrong for the other side to wage its own propaganda blitz? Is propaganda by definition without integrity?   Wish I could vlog these issues.   For my part, prefer leading by example rather than 'tricking' folks into supporting my position.   But sometimes, one must fight fire with fire.   My ad campaign would go something like this: open source as investment strategy brings a minimum 400% return.   Now, just need Max & Stacy to back me up at Karmabanque with some numbers.   Okay, open source people: what have you found to be your return on investment? FireANT? Mefeedia? Blip?   "Pay more" for what you consume, bothering to consume things made by people you know.   XOX, Jan -- "It isn't done alone. Pay more." http://fauxpress.blogspot.com - movement http://dagnyhemingway.blogspot.com - machinima http://vlogpresskit.blogspot.com - media http://blog.urbanartadventures.com - literature http://the-hold.blogspot.com - art http://homepage.mac.com/janmclaughlin/loveletter/iMovieTheater26.html - filmmaker ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Watson To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 5:26 AM Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: Lobbyists Trying to Destroy Internet Freedom? That is one slick piece of propaganda. Fucking ad men! Brilliant piece from a messaging perspective, especially to moderate Republicans. All the codewords and frames are there: big oppressive government, incompetent bureaucrats, etc.but there was a twist.  They actually used an argument that pits the citizen v the corporation. That was kind of interesting. A bit shocking, actually, that they would find it strong enough an argument to include it with the old standards. I guess there is something to that people before profit argument.  Thanks for this.  While we're on the subject: I drove by an ATT billboard that said in clearn, Apple/ATT lettering on ATT blue and logo: podcast   Then they promised to deliver in the fine print.  And the poor lil' communications cartel can't afford to do what they promise, so they need to set up entire new pricing scams to make more money.  Screw them! Scumbags. Don't they even care what they look like?  I guess they figure all we got as far as media is bullshit anyway, why should they worry about throwing more around.  SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO!
