At least he'll attract flies

The Minnesota anti-PRT Propagandist is hoping to attract the Minneapolis Star-Tribune to his litany of disinformation and smear politics. Let's take a look at how he hopes to get on the Trib's good side. It's like a traffic accident--you don't want to look, but the spectacle is irresistable.

Strategy 1-- Insult the Trib and other media:

  • Here we go again... the Strib's Laurie Blake has another puff piece about PRT.
  • [The local affiliate of] Fox news also ran a puff piece about J-Pods
  • I don't expect Fox News [local affiliate] to be able to sort fact from fiction, but it's disapointing [sic] to to [sic] read yet another PRT puff piece that repeats the same anti-LRT disinformation from the Strib's transportation reporter, Laurie Blake.
  • Please assign future PRT stories to an investigative or political reporter.
Laurie Blake: his new Zoe Naylor (see "also Nov. 5")?

Strategy 2-- Insult public servants and others:
  • clueless Minneapolis Council President Barbara Johnson...
  • The "inventor" of J-Pods... hobbyist
  • Bill James claims that his wacky invention
Strategy 3-- display inability to commmunicate key message:
  • Unlike the shiny red Taxi 2000 prototype, the J-Pod is obviously a joke.
Finally! He admits Taxi 2000 PRT is not a joke! Now that's a reason to alert the media!

Strategy 4-- repeat tired old propaganda and debunked self-promotion:
'Oh please please please can I have another outlet for my smear campaign!?'

Yes, there will certainly be a lot of buzzing around Kiln Ovendoor. Big turds always attract buzzing.

He is unable to defend one of his oldest allegations (search for "What do we do about this passage")
