How I decided to go into P.R. and marketing is a long story, but “We Are Everywhere” by Chicago 7/8 “conspirator” Jerry Rubin is tucked on my shelf between the A.P. Stylebook and Roget’s. What Rubin called “theatre” back then we now term “guerilla P.R.,” “word of mouth marketing (WOMMA),” and viral marketing, among other [...]

Here is a story published last fall that offers yet more evidence that President Bush and his team had planned to invade Iraq even before the 2000 presidential campaign was fully underway:

Yesterday we had a story about an exchange between ABC News White House reporter Terry Moran and Bush spokesman Scott McClelland in which Moran agressively questioned Scottie about Vice President Cheney’s recent assertions that the insurgency in Iraq was in its “last throes.” That was encouraging.

Last week, Prime Minister Tony Blair had what appeared to be a contentious meeting with President Bush. Now a second memo has been leaked by the Blair government that indicates the Bush Administration was lying to American public during the run-up to the war in Iraq. The story broke in the London Times:

Maybe If We All Hold Our Breath, the Media Will Cover the Downing Street Memo:
Is the media finally waking up to the Downing Street Memo? A few odds and ends:
> Rep. John Conyers on HuffPost: “This is a stunning account of the way our media has slid backwards from the days of Woodward and [...]
