As you might imagine smoking is very divisive issue with little room for considering what I refer the 'unintended consequences'of such visually arresting imagery. The host basically attacked me from the get go and seemed to suggest that I was pro-smoking, simply because I raised some conerns about the potentially disempoweing ways that smokers are portrayed. <br /><br />As an aside, my university offers media training through the PR department and I have found this to be very helpful in preparing.dr. beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361001097756087076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-55693207309993351552011-06-07T08:12:26.766-05:002011-06-07T08:12:26.766-05:00Poor CF.

It was a tad fast, but not so much that I could not follow you or found the pace distracting. <br /><br />I had my first radio interview experience this year and was amazed at how the host tried to consistently steer me "off message" and away from my talking points. I am learning much from following you...dr. beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361001097756087076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-61535133962166936892011-06-06T14:37:37.374-05:002011-06-06T14:37:37.374-05:00Mr DeVega:

...Ugh, meant to say on Twitter yesterday morning. <br /><br />Today, Washington Post has picked it up. <a href="http://wapo.st/io6ZXx" rel="nofollow">http://wapo.st/io6ZXx</a>.<br /><br />Supporters of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin have taken to Wikipedia, where they have been trying all weekend to revise the page on Paul Revere to reflect her recent comments.<br /><br />In her trip to Massachusetts last week, Palin flubbed the history of Revere’s ride, saying that he rode through Boston ringing bells to warn the British that the revolutionaries were armed and ready to fight. Revere actually rode quietly, to warn the revolutionaries that British troops were headed their way.<br /><br />As first noticed by the blog Little Green Footballs, Palin fans have been attempting to add her version of the story to Revere’s Wikipedia page — a source of research information for more than half of college students. Other users have been deleting the changes as they appear, arguing that what Palin said in the past week should be kept separate from a page about an event that happened hundreds of years ago. <br /><br />It's funny, though, we were kicking it around long before LGF posted on it. Anyway, doesn't matter. This is conservatism.Oh Craphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569760594341619659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-55788846874724979832011-06-06T11:26:21.284-05:002011-06-06T11:26:21.284-05:00Very timely, considering this week's Palin ven...Very timely, considering this week's Palin venture into stupidity: insisting Paul Revere warned the British about British troop movements. LOL!<br /><br />I was on Twitter earlier this morning when it broke that the idiot conservatives were running to Wikipedia and Conservopedia to alter the Revere entries to reflect it.<br /><br />I thought you sounded great on Pap - I missed it the first time around. I didn't hear any too-fast talking.Oh Craphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569760594341619659noreply@blogger.com
