Lowe recruited and brought into the "inner fold", most of these schlubs a long time ago to be his mouthpeices. He knew they would be the best people to keep the masses calm through having guys like Stauffer, Jones and Matheson explain Lowe's side of moves and lack of moves and draft picks...and useful as a weapon in praising draft picks and trades, while ripping players that left or wanted to leave (*cough*Prongeroutrightlies*cough*) to bring the fans together as part of the "Oiler way".
Thus there are still large parts of fan base and the Mudcrutch's of the world turning a blind eye to the root of the problem thanks to the message the media passes on down to the lowly fans.
Also goes to show Lowe's indignant attitude at the "Tier 1 fans" presser, as he thought he had all the assembled media in the room in the palm of his hand, and how dare someone break from the script.
