The Republicans basically outsourced their messaging to Talk Radio, newsletters, conservative magazines, and eventually FOX News.

Those entities had no incentive to limit the 2-minute hates to two minutes. Foam & bile was a selling point and what made them money. They promptly made it 24-7 and coast-to-coast.
