A little while ago, I talked about how NPR was running a registration drive and part of their promise to listeners was to not deliver about Lohan, Spears, or any of that other gossip-style news. (Read article here.)

Today, on Super Tuesday, NPR promised to stay away from election coverage and wait until all the results were in before making any calls about any races.

Just because you can give a zillion opinions about everything and anything, sometimes it is better to hold back a little bit. The long-tail is not universal.

From Uniwatchblog:

Meanwhile, just to bring things full circle, I caught a quick glimpse of a Mitt Romney campaign rally on TV yesterday and noticed that many of the people in the crowd were holding up signs shaped like baseball gloves — mitts, get it? Only problem is, a regular fielder’s glove is not a mitt, because “mitt” is short for “mitten” and only applies to the fingerless gloves worn by catchers and first basemen.

This isn’t an endorsement or slander, but proof that everything you company does, no matter how small it may seem, WILL be noticed by someone.  Most likely, that person can put it on the web.

This is proof that your message, no matter how simple (mitt=baseball glove), is determined by those listening - not by those speaking, right?
