I’m Just a Blogger

Well, it was no surprise that Michelle Malkin just killed it at RightOnline.  Malkin, fresh of her heated exchange with Juan Williams, reiterated that bloggers and citizen journalists are not part of the “new media,” but the right media.  The cohort of concerned citizens, who armed with phone cameras, write and post stories, in their free time, about what is really going on in the arena of state affairs.  We proudly share a distrust of the “dead tree media” and other affiliates peddling the narrative of the Democrat-media complex.

She gave a nice shout out to real reporters, like Sheryl Atkinson at CBS, for exposing the “bloody malfeasance” within the Obama administration.  That malfeasance came in the form of Fast and Furious and Malkin made a note that, while Atkinson’s reporting on the subject is commendable, it was just bloggers, like Mary Chastain and Katie Pavlich, that set the narrative and culminated in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voting to bring contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder over the issue on June 20th.

It was just a blogger, like Anita Moncrief, who exposed the fraud and abuse of our electoral system at the hands of the Obama administration.  She said what made the late Andrew Breitbart  so great and so effective was that he exposed the lame-stream media for who they are with a smile on his face and a stiff spine.  She stated how we are in the fight of our lives, which doesn’t necessarily end in November.  We’re a democracy and democracy is based on public opinion.  Public opinion is shiftable sand, therefore, there are no sustaining victories in democracy.

As Malkin stated, the war hasn’t changed, only the tools used to fight the battles.  We’re just a “different set of combatants.”  New generals, foot soldiers, and strategists will rise and everyone at RightOnline, and those sympathetic to the conservative movement who blog or investigate, is essential.  Everything is on the line come November against the toughest, meanest, most vicious political team we’ve ever faced.  Malkin is right. This is war. Let’s get to work!

June 15-16th

Andrew Breitbart may have left us, but former Governor of Alaska and Tea Party stalwart, Sarah Palin, will be there to rally the troops at Right Online in Las Vegas on June 15th.  She will certainly energize this gathering of conservative bloggers and media types as they prepare for war against the Obama agenda.  The story was picked up on Politico which states:

This year’s meeting is focused on higher-level tactics and strategies than past year’s editions of Right Online, which sometimes had the feel of a crash course on blogging 101. The Vegas conference features training on video exposes to be conducted by guerrilla video journalist James O’Keefe, a session on polling featuring conservative’s favorite pollster Scott Rasmussen and a session moderated by columnist Michelle Malkin entitled “How to Use Facebook & Twitter to Win,” which will include instruction on using social media to drive narratives. It’s an area in which Palin can rightly be considered a pioneer, having mastered a high-impact, communication style that almost completely circumvents a traditional media from which she’s sometimes gotten rough treatment.

(that’s quite an understatement.)

AFP also released a press release today:

AFP Foundation President Tim Phillips said, “Sarah Palin is an expert
at harnessing social media technology and tactics to shape the
narrative. Few others have demonstrated Palin’s prowess at breaking
the rules of the Old Guard Media. We’re thrilled to have her join us
at RightOnline, which already features some of the most influential
figures and publishers of online news in the country.”

Governor Palin will participate in Friday evening’s ‘Tribute to Andrew
Breitbart’ by the Breitbart News team and will introduce Citizen
United’s new film “Occupy Unmasked” written/directed by Stephen K.
Bannon and featuring Andrew Breitbart.

Palin is the latest to join an already impressive lineup of new media
gurus that includes pollster Scott Rasmussen, author Jonah Goldberg,
FOX News contributor Michelle Malkin, Breitbart News editor Dana
Loesch, and many more. For the fifth year in a row, RightOnline is the
can’t-miss event for liberty-loving bloggers and citizen journalists
who want to take their online activism to the next level.
