(6,489 posts)amazed how in such a short time, Fox So Called News has become so mainstream. There were a series of showings coordinated by Dem groups at homes and libraries followed by telephone discussion. Unfortunately as shocked and dismayed as we all were - no really coordinated effort was made to counter the fake news this propaganda machine was spewing. I dont think anyone expected what happened. But the Republicans have always been so much better than Democrats at long term planning. Its why Rs focused on winning state houses and local governments while Ds focused on federal seats. And now we are reaping the results.
Outfoxed should have been a wake up call. And now we have a 24 hour propaganda machine for the Republican Party. Im not sure what the answer is. I hope Democratic leadership is figuring it out.
