Something I've noticed about the media and those who dance with them.

[Skidmore]

First, the cable teevee hosts only interview pundits or political insiders who have contracts with their individual network. They rarely, if ever, speak to people on the street, either casually or in interviews. They need to be called on this.

Second, they only present those bits and pieces which support their agreed upon narrative (e.g., McCain is a hero, Obama is presumptuous, etc.). They need to be called on this also.

Now this morning, I saw an R operative get all up in Mika's face on Morning Joe about how she was in the Obama camp and this left her sputtering for a time and trying to demonstrate how she is often critical of Obama. Joe did some alpha male chest thumping and stated that he reserved the right to browbeat her cause she is, essentially, his little woman on the team. You see how it works? Our surrogates do not get in their faces and call them on their bullshit.

1. And if our surrogates did they would not be invited back n/t

[Skidmore]

2. I don't agree.

I think we could shame in the media into being afraid to be called "right wing."

8. I am all for that...how do we do it n/t

[quakerboy]

7. all the better

Why lend ones name, face, and credibility to the incredible?

3. The "Kool Kids" strike again

You'd think you were back in high school with the way these media whores act.

5. Perhaps, oh wise one, you can school us a bit on

human nature. I say the Rs successfully trained these people and we can practice cognitive therapy as well as they can.

4. It's a giant echo chamber

And the echoes get louder with every pass through it.

To the point where bullshit becomes conventional wisdom.

At not one of these dildos ever speaks to an actual voter.

6. What if we demanded to be spoken to?
