On the front it said "Establishment Media"...
And on the back:
"We Have the Power, Dean Press Corps 2004."
I have been feeling uncomfortable all day with all our jubilation over the media and their speaking out. I keep remembering when this happened. We need to keep in mind that though we have made progress with the internet media...they still have the power for now.
From February 2004
In The Northwest: Media critic Howard Dean bows out with humorAn edgy moment of own-expense laughter is the best that reporters and an about-to-drop-out presidential hopeful can hope for, as a campaign enters what everyone knows is its final hours.
Hence, candidate -- and media critic -- Howard Dean reacted with humor Tuesday in Milwaukee as journalists presented him with a long-sleeve white T-shirt. It carried the motto "Establishment Media" in front, and a slogan swiped from Dean in the back: "We Have the Power, Dean Press Corps 2004." On the Newshour not long after that, Matea Gold told of his response when they handed him the shirt:
You know actually, Gwen, when we gave him that t-shirt yesterday he said the establishment media trumps the Internet but not for long.
When they concentrate, these media groups can take anyone, any group down to their knees. We need to be on guard.
I keep feeling better about things by concentrating on the blog power that has grown in just less than two years. It gives me hope, and we have relevance...just not enough to crow about yet.
