What happened to good old fashioned “earned media”?

In an article in today’s Desert Sun (August 4, 2005) regarding legislative fundraising and expenditures there was a little gem about Senator Jim Battin.
It turns out that Senator Battin paid for plane tickets and hotel rooms for local radio talk show-hosts to travel to Sacramento for a Republican talk radio love-in called “Capitol Clearspeak Conference” that was held back in June. The conference was just another opportunity for the talk radio folks to spout Republican talking points and let the Governor praise the Minuteman Project.
With Republican Members like Senator Battin paying $1,200 for airfare and dropping $3,300 for rooms at the Hyatt, it’s no wonder that the Governor and the Republican Caucus get all that free love from the talk radio folks.
