Why go through Om Malik on this? Why not contact Dvorak directly? Why not use that awesome, expensive whitehouse.gov to interact with us directly? Why say Dvorak is lying? Do you honestly thing he is fabricating things or really doesn't believe what he has written?
Ugh. So many failures of communication at so many levels with this shitshow.
- msie 17y agoWhy satisfy/dignify Dvorak's need for attention with a direct response? What should they do when the next person makes a claim? And the next? And the next? Why don't they have a direct line with Lou Dobbs or Glenn Beck?
- look_lookatme 17y agoWhat's so difficult about having a PR person contact a blogger who is getting significant play on a story he wrote? Just contact him, clarify the situation. If he is reasonable, he or she will write an update and we move on. I don't care about who Dvorak is, or his history, or "satisfy"-ing his need for attention. I'm looking at this from a broader perspective: is this administration as in touch with the minute by minute news cycle as they claim to be? Are they able to recognize a story as it grows from one blog post to thousands of retweets and facebook messages? Do they know how to handle that kind of brushfire exposure?
