Battling the Media
Because it has often been suggested here that the media will be as much an opponent for the dem nominee as the Shurb, I found this observation rather interesting. To me, it is one more counter to the electability argument made against Dean.
------------

Let's say it clearly: the Dean campaign has created its own parallel media universe.

This is not just about a weblog, or social software. It's the combination of those and other online tools, animated by a campaign culture, that creates the networked campaign.

The Dean Media routes around the conventional press, but also piggybacks on it, feeds off it, critiques it. The mainstream media is still very important. But the Dean campaign doesn't have to rely on it.

1. The message sold by Dean on web is not so different than message media
has been selling.

When they start to contradict, it will be interesting to see which one wins. I think it'll be big media's.

However, it is very important for the candidates to have the alternative tentacles to get around the media spin.

2. Maybe at the moment they are in sync
But they certainly weren't when the media had picked Kerry as the favorite.
