Re: Why Talk to the Media??

[Guest guest]

But they held to "the Message" while doing it.... they would never had allowed themselve to be used to promote "Racism" and negative anti-civil rights agendas. They understood the basic ground rules of stay on message and refuse to be used..... if someone video tapes you while speaking, cuts you up, and takes what you said out of context, and then edits you in with written spoken copy promoting something for or against your cause, that can not be helped... that problem or proper or inproper use of your image and words rests with the reporter and the editoral board or producer and director... BUT you never walk right in knowing that you have NO Promises of being treated with dignity and respect for your own cause and message... Sorry I will not use adjectives to describe that,

but none of the are positive....

Sorry, not buying it....
