Here's what I can't figure out - with the Republican Party is such shambles,
who issues the daily script. On any given current events question, they give the same response, word for word.

2. I notice on MSNBC, which ever way the wind is blowing in the early
morning, that pretty much sets the tone for the day. Almost. Morning Joe very possibly gets his script from someone too so I don't really know, just guessing...

3. There isn't media commenting on failure of decades of policy, instead giving them speaking platform
-unchallenged. Why this Sunday having on so few Dems.

8. The Heritage Foundation Press room as well; I guess the HF is the "reliable source"
more than the origin, but you get the idea.

6. Aren't there media trade organizations? Being private businesses and so few owning ALL media, it
wouldn't be illegal and it wouldn't be that hard to induce sympathetic vibrations throughout the various systems.

Many bosses spend significant time just going to conferences and meetings of various organizations in their field.

They do "research" and probably also have a conduit into office-holders' databases that detail the kinds of feedback that congress critters pick up from other organizations, such as churches and chambers of commerce and . . . .

7. P.S. and if they aren't getting semantic info from congress critters, they can always buy it from
outfits like Choice Point.

12. Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch

Frank Luntz is a hired killer. He is smart. He is "have gun, will travel." But he works for money. Look
for the guys who have billions already. They are the ones who call the tune.
