Spin of the Day
by Moon Pie at 12:07 pm EST, Nov 4, 2002

The latest PR crap coming at ya. Government and corporate lie-making, dirty tricks, and drug smuggling. This site also has interesting information on the history of spin, such as the early use of front groups to say your message for you (Edward Bernays, father of spin, helped jump-start sales of bacon, a breakfast rarity until the 1920s, by enlisting a prominent doctor to solicit fellow doctors' opinions on the salutary benefits of a hearty breakfast and by arranging to have famous figures photographed eating breakfasts of bacon and eggs).
Critical intelligence for psyop targets. Also includes links to well funded, influential and just plain goofy hard right groups and "think tanks", discussing the utter vileness of the liberal elite that has them under siege. What's a rich gun-toting Republican to do? They'll tell ya.

] "Detroit Project" Won't Play in Detroit
] Detroit TV stations are refusing to broadcast the Detroit
] Project's TV ads linking terrorism to gas-guzzing SUVs,
] and industry-funded think tanks like the Competitive
] Enterprise Institute have jumped in to attack the ads.
] Actually, the marketing link between SUVs and violence
] may run deeper than the Detroit Project realizes. The SUV
] craze got its start thanks to the first war in the
] Persian Gulf, which inspired automakers to adapt military
] vehicles for the consumer market. As even Fortune
] magazine admits, the auto industry has been deliberately
] marketing rollover-prone gaz-guzzlers as vehicles of
] aggression that appeal to consumers' "reptilian"
] instincts. Small wonder that,
] according to the industry's
] own market research, "the SUV is the car of choice for
] the nation's most self-centered people; and the bigger
] the SUV, the more of a jerk its driver is likely to be."
