The President Is Speaking Beyond The Beltway
July 7th, 2006 by SpokesbloggerThrough the leadership of Tony Snow, the President has launched a regional media strategy to help move his message beyond the Beltway Group Thinkers and in to the heartland.
Chicago was chosen because it is a regional hub, which the administration thought would be a good place to launch the on-the-road news conferences around the country, according to one political source close to the White House.
And of course, we are still hoping that this President will be the first President to reach out to the blogosphere by hosting a meeting or conference call with conservative bloggers. After all, the President would not only send a clear signal to conservatives that blogs are important, but he would get loads of MSM for doing so. Win-win?
After all, who out there thinks that Larry King Live is a more-friendly forum than an interview with Glenn or Hugh? And I know quite a few more people who will listen and respect Glenn and Hugh. It’s worth thinking about.
