Tulsa Needs New Media

Talk about evidence we need new or alternative media, just check out page two in the Tulsa World today. Of course the paper is full of PGA stuff and I don't blame them. But, are they so hard up for news that the spend almost 20 column inches of text on Smores?

I'm talking about those desserts that you put a square of chocolate along with a marshmallow on a graham cracker and heat it up! The TW spent almost a half page on this tempting dessert, but not one character on the upcoming appearance of the former first lady Senator Hillary Clinton, who by the way is the leading contender for the Democratic Party's nomination for President in the 2008 elections. Cinton will be in Tulsa Saturday afternoon at the Jazz Hall of Fame for a fundraiser.

Yes, her schedule is very strict and synchronized -- no press for one. Yes, you do have to jump through some hoops to donate and attend the function but consider this; yesterday, I met a young woman who wanted to buy a Hillary bumper sticker and was shocked to find out that she was going to be in Tulsa in three days. Finding out she could get in with a $50 donation, the young woman got the web address to make a donation and get an admission ticket. She left with a smile on her face...... and her bumper sticker.

Yeah, I'm guilty, too. I could have said something earlier, even though I'm not a Clinton supporter.
