The Whole Pajamas Media Conspiracy Thing...

I was in Guatemala when Tony Pierce started the Pajama Wars, which has been going full force for about a week now I guess. My take on the situation? I don't really give a rats ass.
That a bunch of Right Wing Blogs like Protein Wisdom, which justified the corruption of the Iraqi press, gets together and makes some money off of what they do daily anyway, neither surprises me, nor particularly upsets me. Nor does Tony taking them on. That is what he does... when not bragging about his sex life, or writing books. More power to him. As to the validity of his claims, that the Pajama crew is part of a Bush conspiracy... I don't think so, just because of some of the people involved. But then again, I don't really care. A lot of the people on the list could spend an hour in an Elevator with Bush farting the whole time, and emerge discussing the wonderful fragrance.

Truth is that we on the left don't spend enough time thinking about how we can build alliances and make money. That is one of the reasons I have toned down my own blogging. We start alliances like the PBA and BBA and instead of working to build them into Media powerhouses, we just create blogrolls... Tony is a respected member of the Left Sphere. He HAS made some money off of blogging and has some connections. My advice, use 'em. Start a Left Wing counter to Pajamas Media. I will be waiting for my invitation, and my check.

Peace!

you'll be waiting a long time since im not part of the Left.

im an Independent.

and this isnt about people on the Left or Right making money off their blogs, i couldnt care less about that

this is about the US government spreading propaganda in the US newspapers, US magazines, US tv, iraqi newspapers, and now possibly blogs.

that you should care about.

I do care about it Tony. I always have. But the propaganda thing, paid or unpaid has been going on forever. I dont believe that Pajamas Media is being paid by the administration. Why... Because they dont need to, people like Goldstein and some of the others will blow the Bush horn for free.

youve obviously not read my posts

every other organizations (except the Iraqi newspapers) that BushCo paid off - armstrong williams, jeff gannon, judy miller, etc were already blowing the Bush horn, as you say, for free.

the money isnt to convince them to blow it, the money is to reward them.

and the PJ money isnt to encourage them to propagandize - it is to control the advertising space on 70+ blogs including osm.org

its a good plan and its working because people like you arent seeing the big picture, looking at the near recent past, or reading things like the Defense Department Science Report of 11/04

and youre not thinking like a Republican.

T:
You may be right. I dont know. If you are, you will once again prove why you are a Top Blogger and blow a bigger scandal open than Gannongate. And you are correct, I have not read all the post. I have been busy working (Obviously you haven't read ISOU lately) Hehe.. Anyway Bro. I support what you are doing, always have, just dont see this one... YET. But stay on it. If you are right, I will be the first one to congradulate you.

David, you can't be serious can you? Expecting Tony to believe such nonsense as:
"I dont believe that Pajamas Media is being paid by the administration. Why... Because they dont need to, people like Goldstein and some of the others will blow the Bush horn for free."

I mean, it makes just too damn much sense. Goodonya for stating the obvious, for no reason what so ever.

"this is about the US government spreading propaganda in the US newspapers, US magazines, US tv, iraqi newspapers, and now possibly blogs."

No, actually, it is about Tony Pierce just making sh*t up.
