Trimet hires its PR people from local media

Why does the media always report the good about TriMet? It's simple, really. TriMet hires their PR people from the media.

Lets take a look at Mary Fetsch, who is the head of Public Communications. She was a news director at KATU for several years. She has influence over people there.

Roberta Alstadt, who is the new PIO at TriMet, has many more connections. According to her LinkedIn Profile (http://www.linkedin.com/in/robertaaltstadt), she was a news director for KATU, KGW, and KPTV. Anyone can see that she would have ties to each news outlet there.

Which name doesn't show up? KOIN. TriMet has no control over Jeff Gianola and the hard hitting group on SW Columbia. Nobody else wants to touch TriMet due to the ties they have with the PIO's. It's as plain as day.

So next time you hear a story about TriMet on the news, think to yourself, "What station am I watching? What ties are being used to distort this story?"

Hi Al,

Maybe this will help your frustration about Timet and Government in general.

This crazy spending and forced 40 year Transit Plan is coming from the few billionaire's of the world so they can maintain control and keep those greedy billions.

On one hand your living in a daily revengeful "Hell," or on the other hand you paid the price and it's time to smell the flowers, only you know the answer to the question.

Anyway, Google Search:

Four Horseman

This is how the world is working, I'm sorry, it makes me tear up when I watch it.

The leaders of Trimet don't know any better, they are just rank and file following orders. I have to give them credit for pushing as hard as they do for so little reward and recognition, I would not do it.

The Bottom Line of the recent "Four Horseman" documentary is:

1. Rapacious Financial System
2. Escalating Organized Violence
3. Objective Poverty for Billions
4. Exhausting Earth Resources

We need Economic Reform, the one thing that will screw or slow down the "Four Horsemen" in my opinion is strengthening the FIAT Currency $USD

Al, we need your expertise is a greater area of challenge and that is Macro Economic Reform.

Keep up the good work,

a loyal reader
