The media should have a black-out
on any further picketing by the Phelps clan. They want publicity -- don't give it to them. Make them invisible.

2. The more it enrages, the more they will air it.
If it bleeds, it leads.

Our media isn't about informing the public, it is about ratings and ad revenue.

I know the minute I saw a headline about Phelps picketing Christina Greene's funeral, I about broke a nail to click on it to see if it was true.

I suck.

3. I know, it's a tough temptation to resist.
But we really shouldn't be giving them the attention they love.
