Political Chaff Confuses Media Radar

Well, they fell for it hook line and sinker...every single one of them.

An ill-thought out Government initiative announced on a Sunday by Alistair Darling?
Perleeeaase!
Road charging took Straw's statement in the House on the Monday off lead story in all the papers and all the media.
Radio 4's Today programme took the lead as well.

Blair out of the country? Of course. These things do not happen by accident.

You have to look past the 'political chaff' and not fall for it. These guys in the Labour spin machine are only 'experts' because the press and media allow them to be. They know how the game is played.
Also, the press and media will continue to use 'establishment' campaigns mirroring the Conservative Party line. It's safe and easily handled. It's not contentious.

If you have ever watched an under-9's football match the same logic applies with everyone on the pitch (except the two goalies) within 10 yards of the ball.

We must all learn the skill of stepping back outside the game to see the big picture.

We must also expand the art of bypassing the mainstream media to get the message out at grassroots level.

Expose the transparent 'spin' agenda in the local press letters pages. It is only transparent however, when it is pointed out to everyone.

Forward any information to your contacts. Become active.
Keep up the fight.
