In reply to the discussion: Alan Grayson Stands Up to Republican Attempt to Push Through Keystone Pipeline. [View all]gateley
(62,683 posts)37. Freshwest, when the Republicans get a talking point, every single person manages to get
that talking point in the "interview" or statement they're giving. "Job killing Obamacare" comes to mind -- regardless of the question, they'd manage to throw that out there. We need to do the same. So when the media DOES cover something we say, we're saying the same damning truth about the pipeline.
If we made a big enough stink about it, the media would HAVE to cover it. We HAVEN'T made a big enough stink about it.
That's my observation, anyway.

He has to veto it because we can't afford to burn the carbon in the tar sands.

They need to hammer it home. Over and over again -- like the Republicans do with their lies.

The hammer is the media. We don't control it, they do. We'll just have to keep it up here, gateley.
