People Who Feel The Need To Go To Right Wing Sources

People who feel the need to do opposition research on everything TSF, Vance, and other Magats are doing, that's fine, nothing wrong with that, but as Pete Buttigieg said last night, that only re-directs the conversation back to what Magats want to talk about.

We own the narrative right now and I do not give a shit about how the Magats are throwing handfuls of mud to counter our narrative.

Wasn't that VP roll out superb yesterday? I have changed my prediction, Kamala will not beat TSF by 10 million votes, she will beat him by 11 million votes.

I don’t go there to find out the latest from faux ‘news’, but I like to find out what those weirdos are cooking up.

Talking about what Magats are doing re-directs the conversation back to what Magats want everyone to be talking about.

The importance of controlling the narrative is underestimated.

My point, if there is one, is that we have momentum, drawing in more and more volunteers and researchers, so we can reclaim the narrative and do research on whatever excremental hit piece is coming down the pike.

These days The New York Times and CNN are almost right wing sources.

who watches those MSM news sources.

For my part I even restrict my watching MSNBC to a few anchors. I watch freespeechtv.org in the morning and MSNBC at 4 PM. for the most part.

VP pick idea?

The one that ran Nate Cohn’s huge disappointment today that Walz was not in the Overton center between fascism and sanity?

No, they are not a rightwing media outlet, that’s tinfoil nonsense.

 

Think. Again.

...it's almost as though some DUers are just as addicted to rightwing B.S. as rightwingers are.

My own ADHD has made me over time an expert skimmer, otherwise 6 years of college texts and years of tech manuals had no chance.

Some are just *too focused* on what Republicans are saying. The media does it too. Heck, MSNBC has been using this as their primary content for years.
