.........While some of the Democratic criticism of Pelosi has merit, those Democrats running to the media to criticize her only play into the hands of Republicans running hate campaigns against the Democratic leader. They make it harder for Democrats to achieve the urgent mission of regaining control of the House, and would be well-advised to keep their concerns behind the scenes..............

They have also started a campaign of destruction against President Obama. OMG! How dare he speak out against rescinding health care for millions of Americans. They are going into full battle mode against us. Buck up and grow a pair, everyone. It is time to show those A-holes what a united democratic front can do.

(6,916 posts)With climate science, the GOP tries to find one scientist who disagrees, and amplifies the heck out of that person.
The GOP coordinates their media message. They get the same talking points, they pound the talking points on many media outlets with many media surrogates. And then the regular press starts to pick up the talking points and talk about them.
Same with Pelosi and Bernie and Obama. The GOP waits for one criticism to be leveled and then they amplify that criticism like crazy in the media.
The only way to fix this is for us to ignore those attacks, and for the real media - NYT, WaPo, CNN etc. to IGNORE these bad-faith efforts to amplify GOP falsehoods and distortions.

(819 posts)CNN and other outlets have been blasting the criticism of Pelosi... I was listening to NPR and they spent a whole segment giving air time to Ryan and why he thinks Pelosi is worse than Trump in some parts of the country.

I recently heard that cuts in public funding mean that NPR has had to acquire private/corporate donors and that's the reason NPR now leans right.

(967 posts)I have watched us beat up Ossoff, then Pelosi, and now Obama. Certainly Clinton.
I do not get why the Democrats would allow this. Maybe it is not about the Democrats at all.
