"The Western Bulldogs Football Club is sending out players, fans and staff to try and build community support for the club. To support the cause, the Prime Minister went on Triple M radio with Eddie Maguire and Mick Molloy.
This from Molloy: "Morning Prime Minister. You've got my vote so long as you keep hitting the streets on behalf of the Bulldogs. Congratulations!"
And this from Maguire: : "... how do you put the point across to people that in Australia at the moment we have got low inflation, low unemployment, low interest rates, we've got through the GFC, the share market is coming good. Every indicator would suggest we're actually in Shangri-La at the moment, yet people still think we're going around in a third world country."
The Prime Minister should bottle that sentiment and take it with her to Sydney, because there's nothing like it within a 50 kilometre radius of Rooty Hill."
Few in the media tell thre truth like Barrie Cassidy. So why is it so hard to get this message across? Apart from the unwillingness of the media to cover the truth, there is no apparent reason why members of the ALP Caucus can't get out there, in front of the cameras, at media conferences and photo shoots, and simply state the underlined excerpt; over and over and over again. It may then dawn on the twitterverse to ask the question of why these positive elements are measurably and objectively true.
All political parties employ media consultants and spin doctors. The mere existance of such denominations suggests the convergence of capitalism and our warped form of democracy has transformed the media into a tool of 'the powers that be' rather than a check upon their actions. The conservative forces have been the first to recognise this and to capitalise. The ALP needs to hurry up, grow up and start using the media as the tool it has become for herd manipulations. It needs to do this quickly before the negative reality created by Abbot's minions undoes all of their achievements of the past few years and drives us all back to the stone age of the fifties.
