Joe Trippi's "Revolution Will Not Be
Televised"

Joe Trippi's "Revolution Will Not Be
Televised"
08/03/2004 06:59 AM

I got a review copy of Joe Trippi's new book, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised in the mail yesterday and I ended up staying up until 2AM reading it, and I'm paying for it with yawns and scratchy eyes today. But I'm glad I did it.

For starters, Trippi can write -- he's put together a campaign narrative that's a cross between the Fellowship of the Ring and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail. This was an exciting adventure, half tech startup and half presidential bid, and after all, Trippi's professional career has been devoted to producing snappy written and verbal materials for candidates, and it shows. He's really, really good.

What's more, Trippi is a genuine, fire-breathing, rip-roaring Internet evangelist who makes me want to jump up and shout hallelujah. I mean, halfway through this book, I was starting to daydream about moving back to the US to help use the Internet to sway elections and change the world -- and that's ALREADY what I do for a living.

Finally, this is a flat-out inspirational story, a story about how the future arrived in politics, about how the transformation in politics has been downplayed by the entrenched interests who stand to lose from it, about how we've only just seen the beginning of a new form of civic engagement in the US and all over the world.

I grew up on narratives of civil rights organizers, Yippies, revolutionaries and great scientists, and I've always had a firm belief that we can change the world by applying our shoulders to it and pushing. Trippi's book affirms that belief for me, and gives me renewed hope for the future.

The Dean for America campaign arrived at just the right moment--a pivotal point in our political history, when forty years of a corrupt system had reduced politics to its basest elements--the race to raise money from one-quarter of one percent of the wealthiest Americans and corporate donors in exchange for dictating the policy of the country. Then, the side with the most money simply bought the most television ads to manipulate the most people--while instant polling, focus groups, and message testing ref ined the struggle to a few swing voters in a few key districts in a few key states, blurring any significant differences between the monolithic parties and destroying honest debate about issues like health care and the war in Iraq. Until every candidate sounded exactly the same, and a member of either party could proudly stand up and proclaim that his party had passed a Patients' Bill of Rights--an utterly meaningless bill that, incidentally, *didn't provide health care for one single American.*

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised 11/06/2003 06:15 PM
Amn est Int'l drops documentary after petition. Two Irish filmmakers were inside the palace during the coup in Venezuela in 2002 (also on MeFi: 1 2). I caught their powerful documentary, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised here in Chicago (review). The film was just recently dropped from Canada Amnesty International's upcoming film festival in Vancouver after opp osition parties in Venezuela organized a petition of over 7,000 signatures (mp3). The groups have concerns about it's accuracy, especially in it's characterization of the opposition to the democratically elected President Chavez. A petition supporting the film has been started as well. I found the movie stunning and a chilling account of how media outlets can shape, gauge and control public perception at home and abroad (ergo the Reagan miniseries debacle). Also notable I found was Chavez's passion to teach the poor to understand the constitution of their country - impoverished Venezuelans talking passionately about how they realize that understanding politics and policy is one of the first steps out of their poverty. I picture Jerry Springer trash trying to articulate any understanding of the U. S. constitution. Any Venezuela MeFi'ers wanna give a background on how the country had been faring since the coup and restoration? Was it a CIA action? I'm sure the honeymoon's over - how's it going?

As the Dean campaign started to raise serious money and support on the Internet last fall, it became common for the likes of me to go around trumpeting that this election might be for the Internet what the 1960 election was for television. In the wake of Iowa and New Hampshire, it seems evident that, once again, I'm too early with a prediction that may eventually prove accurate. If anything, this election may reconfirm the preeminent role of the idiot box in American politics, just as the Bush administration is demonstrating the power of plutocracy to an extent not witnessed since Karl Rove's political hero William McKinley was elected. I have seen the past, and it still works. Politics as usual was working like God's wristwatch in Iowa, where the RNC and various Republican PAC's outspent many of the Democratic candidates on negative TV ads aimed exclusively at Dean. But more damaging, in my opinion, was the remarkably open bias that the traditional media seemed to display against Howard Dean in their presentation of the news itself. I don't watch much television, but what little I've seen in the last month indicated to me that Dean was being systematically slimed. I witnessed, for example, an astonishing are-you-still-beating-your-wife interview of Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi by CNN's Paula Zahn. Zahn persisted in drilling in on Dean's having said in an NPR interview that the notion the Bush administration had known in advance about 911 in advance was "an interesting theory," refusing, despite Trippi's protests, to read a bit further in the transcript to Dean's unequivocal statement that it was a theory he didn't share. Dean was taken to severe task for having murmured something on Canadian television four years ago about flaws in the Iowa caucus system. Fox spent an entire day calling him a liar without ever being specific, in my hearing anyway, about what lies he had purportedly told. CNN repeatedly reported that some Iowa voters were referring to Dean volunteers as "Perfect Storm troopers." Indeed, in my extremely random sampling of TV reporting before the Iowa caucuses, I never heard a single reference to Dean that wasn't at least mildly derisive. Then we had the yawp heard round the world. Dean gave a valedictory to his supporters in Iowa that was no more feverish, in my opinion, than many rally exhortations I've heard over the years, even from such sober fellows as Dick Cheney. Countless football coaches deliver such yells every fall week and yet are lionized by their fans. But, according to the big media, Dean's "yee-haaa" was the sound of political hara-kari. You would have thought they'd caught Dean in bed with either a live man or a dead woman. They belabored him for his shout as though he'd done something truly heinous, like, say, leading America into a major war under false pretenses, or robbing the poor to feed the rich, or dramatically curtailing civil liberties. All the networks ran the tape like scenes from a terrorist attack, to the accompaniment of much tsk-tsking and head-shaking. Every pundit of any consequence proclaimed it Dean's last howl. But, as I say, I couldn't see what was so bad about it. Prior to this, Dean had seemed a little too tightly-wrapped for my tastes. I was heartened to see him display any emotion beyond justified indignation. But if you have a signal that can be heard everywhere and you transmit often enough the news that someone is crazy, just about everyone will start believing it, whatever the evidence. This is especially true in a primary campaign where the leading criterion driving candidate preference is the ability to beat the incumbent. Given the relentless hammering he took from the media, Dean was lucky to get 26% of the New Hampshire vote. Even so, Dean may be done for. Or, more to the point, done in. Some will say that he strung his own rope, but it looked more like a media lynching to me. Assuming I'm right about this, why did television want to hang Howard Dean?...

Drazen Pantic used off-the-shelf, inexpensive hardware and software combined with a community Wi-Fi network to broadcast to live television: Citizen videobloggers take note. Pantic describes the system he used (drawn as a simple schematic not much more complicated than the actual installation) to perform a live, public-access television broadcast managed by him and two colleagues. The topic? How they were doing what they were doing, of course. Pantic's essay walks through the drop in price, increase in quality, and proliferation of open-source tools and patent-free/license-free standards that can allow practically anyone to produce streaming, broadcast quality television or recorded digital video for later editing and airing. We established a wireless connection through a local, public WiFi network maintained by the non-profit NYC Wireless, and broadcast from that spot to a computer at MNN studios. The video and audio was captured by the camcorder and fed into the laptop, where it was encoded as MPEG4/AAC streams, then sent out as a unicast stream via the WiFi connection. At MNN they played the stream through a scan converter -- which converts the stream on a computer into a video signal -- then broadcast it live on the air. It's not just a sign of things to come. It's a sign that things have changed....

Want to see an example of spin? No matter what your politics are, it's interesting to note the vastly different takes the established media and some bloggers have on this morning's talk by Joe Trippi at O'Reilly's Emerging Technologies Conference. This morning I read the detailed notes from both Howard Rheingold and Ross Mayfield on Trippi's speech - which sounded interesting, if a bit unfocused. However, both sets of notes show that he clearly talked up the power of the internet while trashing the established "broadcast" media. So, when Reuters - a member of the broadcast media - writes up their own article on the talk, they spin it 180 degrees, and say that Trippi blamed the internet for the campaign's problems. The notes from the blogging attendees say Trippi called the campaign a "dot com miracle", and yet Reuters claims Trippi said the internet "hobbled" the campaign. These differing accounts of the same exact speech don't match at all - and it certainly looks like Reuters is the one doing the spinning here, taking a few quotes here and there out of context to make their point. With the bloggers' notes, you can see the context of what's being spoken about, and the Reuters report gives none of that. I'm not one who believes that bloggers are a "threat" to journalism, but the contrast here shows a perfect (if a bit scary) example of just how easy it is for the press to spin things to make their point.

The Health Care Implosion


The Health Care Implosion 05/25/2004 01:22 PM

  • Mercury News: Health costs hurting more small businesses. The cost of health insurance -- ranked the top concern of small businesses since 1986 -- still holds that dubious distinction, a new nationwide survey shows. But the percentage of firms affected by those costs has grown substantially.
  • The health care system, or at least the insurance system through which our health-care dollars flow, is in a slow-motion collapse. This story is just one more data point. Sooner or later, we'll have to make a choice. Should the U.S. go to national health care, as every single other industrialized nation provides for its citizens? Or should we go to a totally free-market system -- not the bogus pretense of one we have now -- that leaves millions without care of any kind? Or something else? The insurance industry is systematically excluding people who will someday need care -- shifting costs wherever possible to taxpayers. This may be rational capitalism, but it's lousy public policy. I'm working on some columns on this topic. Let me know what you think.
