But in just one week's time, reality changes entirely as the COVID-19 pandemic creates a frenzied panic throughout Daniel's home state of Colorado. Now, he's suddenly being called a hero just for showing up at his job, and he isn't sure how to feel about that. As the uncertainty and paranoia around the virus spread rapidly, Daniel tries to stay afloat and not let the irate hordes of customers bring him down.

Download or read book On the Origin of Spin written by Brendan Bruce and published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to try and answer the question: ‘where and when did political spin originate?’ It deals with the techniques of news management developed and used in those advanced democracies who have laws to protect a free press. such as the United States of America, and to a lesser extent its first cousin, several times removed, the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, or to be more precise, England, who in 1695 became the first country in the world to enshrine a free press into their constitutional law. This joint history of legal protections of press freedom; governmental toleration of free speech; progressive legislation to widen the franchise; vigorous growth in political parties; pluralism and its consequence, the peaceful coexistence of different interests, convictions and lifestyles; a healthy adherence to Burkean ‘little platoons’ of volunteers; and, most of all, sophisticated developments in mass media technologies and consumer marketing techniques; all of which means that the Anglo-Saxon cousins are, and have always been, in the vanguard of news management. Government and media have been at war from the very beginning. Au fond this is a struggle for allegiance. The media want the allegiance of their readers and viewers, because this brings them the profits they need to remain in business. As Patrick Le Lay, then CEO of the main French private channel TF1 put it: "There are many ways to speak about TV, but in a business perspective, let's be realistic: TF1's job is to help Coca-Cola sell its product. What we sell to Coca-Cola is available human brain time." Government on the other hand wants the allegiance of the voter, to acquire or retain power. The famous Victorian editor of 'The Times', Thomas Barnes, once said that the "newspaper is not an organ through which Government can influence people, but through which people can influence the Government." Politicians would reverse the dictum. And therein lies the causus belli. The politician's strategy for winning this war was stated most succinctly by that arch media manipulator, David Lloyd George: "what you can't square, you squash; and what you can't squash, you square." The media for their part, are determined to be neither squashed nor squared. From 1800 in the US and 1832 in Britain (when Germany and Italy were just a glint in the eye of some petty princes; and France was recovering from yet another pointless 'revolution' leaving behind yet another example of Kafka's bureaucratic slime); competitive, party based elections produced extraordinary outbursts of creativity. Politicians learned that the art of politics is about making and then winning arguments. As each successive cutting edge novelty arrived, the spin doctors quickly adapted and improved their techniques by adroitly exploiting the new medium’s benefits. For two centuries (and even before) the ‘Anglo-Saxons’ have led the world in spin: this is the history of that journey.

Download or read book Life on a Road Less Traveled written by Loudell Insley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a fly on the wall as history is being made? In Life on a Road Less Traveled, author Loudell Insley takes you into a world seldom seen by outsiders, recounting her personal experiences working with Senators Edward M. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy during the latter’s presidential campaign. Insley worked for Senator Edward M. Kennedy from 1965 to 1970, a time when he was in the twin shadows of his more famous brothers. She was there as he grew to become a force in the US Senate. On loan to Robert F. Kennedy during his presidential campaign, Insley traveled with the candidate on his ill-fated western swing during his1968 campaign and was there on the day of his tragic assassination. She attended his state funeral as well. She muses about taking a path in life that was not originally set for her in the 1960s and how that shaped her life. When her time with the Kennedys ended, she moved on to a position in the press office of the Peace Corps and then with the Democratic National Committee during the time of the Watergate break-in. She eventually moved back home in Maryland to live and work, but her time serving during some of the most historic times in this country set her on a path that few would have the opportunity to travel.
