NY Times False Reality

 

I sat and looked over this article in the AM, from the NY Times.  What they try to suggest...is that the Republican Party...on it's own....devised some strategy in past years....to bring in a group of successful influencers, and that ALL that the Democratic  Party has to do....is just find ONE single decent influencer.

It's the kind BS story that I need half-a-bottle of gin to get through.

Lets start with three honest statements.

First, NO....the Republican Party never had such a strategy.  They didn't even invent or carry Rush Limbaugh.

Second, when you go back to the era of 2016 to 2022....the podcast community grew at lightning speed....with probably over 200 folks that could be regarded as right-wing or open-minded.

Third, as much as Twitter, Meta or You-Tube might want to take credit....they were not the creative minds or content-inventors.  In fact, as much as You-Tube takes down people today...alternate avenues were being invented monthly.

My view?  Where exactly are great conservationists that fit into this mold?  There's no one at CNN or MSNBC, or NPR, or the pronoun movement....that fits into the requirement.  The 10,000 folks  running off to Canada or the UK....forget about them.

Even talking the slant?  You'd have to re-invent the Democratic Party....going back to the working-class....talking over lessening taxes, and giving up on the LGTBQ-community.   

It's a curious little news story....amounting to just a laugh.
