Explain to me why Joan Walsh
[Read the article: Don't bail on this opportunity, Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is paying this guy to link to articles an intern could link to?

I am guessing Walsh featured this article as the lead

Once again Salon
[Read the article: How do you solve a problem like Sarah Palin?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]brings together a bunch of hacks to be quizzed by a hack wannabe with a hacklacularly stupid question.

It is a third rate intellect
[Read the article: Bill O'Reilly vs. Barney Frank]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]which can't discern the difference between O'Reilly...and a guy with the cojones to stand up to him.
Well, what does one expect of someone who aspires to be a media critic?
-
Could Salon address reality
[Read the article: The Word from Wasilla]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and finally put a fork in all Sarah Palin all the time reporting.
She's done.
Can we now move on to another freak show?
-
Innocent jokes,...
[Read the article: McCain's brother: N. Virginia "communist country" ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]yeah, right....
totally innocent, like Allen's Macacaw momnent.
The McCain campaign and family is one big fat not so innocent joke....

The next time you ask yourself questions, Alex..
[Read the article: The return of Charles Keating]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]it might be a good idea to remember that you are media critic, not an politics expert.
Let the grown ups deal with the inside baseball stuff. Just link to other people's stories....and collect your check for another week where you remind people how great Tim Grieve was.

That is an attack ad?
[Read the article: Obama camp releases post-debate attack ad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does McCain get morphed into Osama Bin Laden?
Nope.
Is it inaccurate?
Nope.
Is it a smear?
Nope.
Some attack ad.

Why is John McCain
[Read the article: Latest McCain ad repeats dubious "most liberal" tag]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]still trying to solidify his base?
-
Alkaline
[Read the article: Since when are poor people allowed to vote?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It would seem your average wingnut things that Democrats have an endless supply of homeless and felon to to shuttle to the polling places to steal elections in the least cost effective way possible.

Alex
[Read the article: Palin's Ayers attack hurts both Obama and McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]do not attempt to analyze polling data gleamed from 311 respondents...
that is what is known in the trade as a focus group.
-
not gleamed.
[Read the article: Palin's Ayers attack hurts both Obama and McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]gleaned.
And while you are at it, call one of your polling people you name drop and ask them to explain to you margin of error.
-
Actually
[Read the article: Palin's Ayers attack hurts both Obama and McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]if you look at any negative ad, it will drive down the positives of both the target and creator of the ad...
there is no evidence that there will be any long term negative impact on the target.
-
Next time Alex
[Read the article: Palin's Ayers attack hurts both Obama and McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]do the due diligence...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/17/10152/8380/600/601474
according to Media curves and HCD
all negative attacks are effective.
But that is what HCD is there to do, tell their clients their ads will work.
As political ads have short shelf life, there is no way to hold these companies accountable for cooking their data.
-
All this stuff is meaningless
[Read the article: Palin's Ayers attack hurts both Obama and McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the sample size is minuscule...
and the ultimate meaninglessness of this testing is that the sample is not selected in a random fashion.
It is market research, not opinion research....and the job of the researcher is to tell the advertiser what he wants to hear.
-
Alex is the ultimate Concern Troll
[Read the article: Palin's Ayers attack hurts both Obama and McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and a credulous one at best.
Still as a wannabe be media critic who has appeared on TV (Fox!) he spends a lot of time to utterly stupid sites without betraying clue that he actually understands what he is cutting and pasting.
This silliness is prime example of why Salon can't keep good help, but sure does hire a lot of people who can't keep a steady job elsewhere.
-
You are the expert, Alex
[Read the article: McCain goes completely negative]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]why didn't you know that McCain was a 100% negative.
I found this out last week reading the Huffington Post.
Heck...and I am not even a professional media critic!
I guess that what happens when you depend on email to get your links.
How much is Joan paying you, anyway?
-
Hell might be other people
[Read the article: McCain goes completely negative]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but
is very sad when Salon is paying a namedropping hack to post stuff which has been there for a over a week...
-
Everybody's dummy
[Read the article: Nobody's dummy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]as exhibited by the the fans of the self-consciously appalling Camille.
The anti-union screed was lovely as well.
Home skool 4ever!
-
What is real
[Read the article: McCain camp releases Ayers ad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is that this this story has no traction with anyone but the base...
but if you want to wring your hands in mortal fear that somehow this smear will work, go do something productive like phonebanking and ask your voters what they think of this bull.
It is a web ad because it was made for the Townhall Base...and no other reason.

The Republican Party pays a huge bounty
[Read the article: Another look at the ACORN furor]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]for registered voters in California.
The Democrats pay less. But I would be willing to guess that the higher the bounty, the bigger the fraud.
