cimmaron--i agree with you about the problem of the soft media coverage. and comrade terry was able to play the retro-media game all too well. for this sort of thing not to be so easy you'd have to have a dominant media in the context of which journalism rather than advertising sales was paramount.
i would prefer a press that in the main simply laughed at conservatives like pastor terry. or ignored him because he's so obviously a self-promoting moron that there's no reason to give him press. i would imagine alot of sane conservatives would prefer that too, because in the end its they who get associated with him. in fact, you'd think most people would prefer that. so how did it come to pass that the situation is so otherwise?
