	Phil's Blogservations Thursday, August 26, 2004 Posted by philgomes 2:35 PM John Kerry, Media Philosopher John Kerry, Media Philosopher I called the media afterward and asked them why and the answer was, from one of the networks, it doesn't have to be identified, "because, is, new[s] business is really partly entertainment business visually, you see, and a press conference like that is not visual." Of course, we don't have the position of power to get our ideas out. I said, "If I take some crippled veterans...to the White House and we chain ourselves to the gates, will we get coverage?" "Oh, yes, we will cover that." — April 22, 1971: John Kerry comes face-to-face with the well-worn axiom "If it bleeds, it leads." Link courtesy of James Taranto.
