      <![CDATA[From the day a flyer with nearly the entire Chicago Democratic lineup endorsing this guy sadly found its way into my mailbox, I knew we were in for years of comedy gold. Someone should start taking bets on which political appointments he'll have when he's 60 and hopefully long out of office.

      <![CDATA[In the event you're interested (and you should be) a few readings:
    
    Graham White, FDR and the Press
    
    Richard Steele, Propaganda in an Open Society: The Roosevelt Administration and the Media, 1931-1941.
    
    Michael Sproule, Propaganda and Democracy
    
    And Michael Stamm's incredibly interesting dissertation: "Mixed Media: Newspaper Ownership of Radio in American Politics and Culture, 1920--1952" (U of C, 2006.  Full-text avail on Proquest).

      <![CDATA[This is going to make an excellent Scav Hunt item.
    
    Incidentally, I loved this quote:
    "According to an agreement between the Stroger administration and Tracy obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, county officials were seeking a "non-threatening news environment that ensures regular, positive press -- to counter-balance negative press often found in the mainstream media.""
    
    Once upon a time, we'd call that propaganda.  It's also a nice way of re-capturing an important historical moment: the New Deal, which was very much about how information was produced and disseminated.  The debate New Deal info policies sparked featured both a similar strategy of justification and similar degree of anxiety.
