Kerry's successful media imagery manipulation has put him in the lead

[cryofan]

Look at the way Kerry successfully used the peak media IA-NH hype to project strong, positive imagery through the media:

1. The long-lost war buddies reunion hug in IA.

2. THe Skating in the hockey game in NH.

Kerry chose the moments when he knew that the media would have to put up any dynamic imagery he sold them. He sold them the reunion hug story in IA and the hockey skating imagery in NH. And because of the timing and content of the shots, the media absolutely HAD to give him the coverage he wanted.

And those two short clips have propelled Kerry into the lead.

Any other brilliant, textbook media imagery manipulation from Kerry that I missed?

I suggest that Clark, who is probably an accomplished horseman, arrange an appropriate horseback media imagery stunt right when the Feb 2 media hype is peaking.

1. I agree with you.

Just think about what you just wrote and then revisit the
"Trial of John Kerry" a Willam Rives Pitt perspective posted on
truthout in December.

Lets talk about it.

2. Free media is great for any campaign, especially when

it's positive.

I think your claim that the two clips propelled Kerry into the lead is an over-exaggeration though.

4. Dear HopeLives

Please take a few moments to read the article in the link I posted above. It is long but worth it.

Your point about "two clips" may be valid. However in the larger context the "two clips" could be a part of a much larger picture.

What do you think?

6. I read a lot of it here before it was completed, I've

followed this since Will was first invited to attend.

What is your point?

3. Like it or not, image wins votes. Just wait till the debates.

13. Image? Chimpy would look like a garden gnome standing next to Kerry

Rove is not looking forward to such an image. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

5. so...are you blaming us for being media skilled?

Or blaming the other candidates for lacking it?

[cryofan]

7. "blame" did not figure into my post. It was an observation

Interesting stuff to me, that's all.

10. Dear cryofan

Your questions and observations are valid. They are just the surface.

Did you happen to click on the link and read the article? If you did, and read it all the way, you will find the answer to your questions and observations.

12. what are the answers?

I just read the article again and you're being a bit too cryptic.

8. Being media skilled is a tremendous value.

What I question, is that how can the consensus of the advisors be unbiased?

Because the "advisors" are media types that shape opinion, they would afterall, want to see the person they gave advise to succeed. No?

9. I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying

[Ninga]

11. It's all in the article

Just read the article. It's long but take the time to read it and then you might understand my point of reference with this "media saavy 2 clips" thing.
