    BREAKING: Way the fuck too many political reporters have no idea that the GOP and their corporate puppet masters have been relentlessly pursuing power at all costs for 40 years.

        Because they will be dismissed and not taken seriously. The @WashingtonPost was arguably the publication that put coverage of this to rest

        The author of the Powell memo, it turns out, was tobacco company attorney Lewis Powell.

        “Reporters”? That’s what we’ve been saying. They don’t report they don’t have a clue what’s going on.

        @KarlBode @wr8 @HunterDK @tmgjruss @ReaderAdrift @nato_303 Everyone should watch “The Brainwashing of My Dad,” which shows that this is the history of 40 years of a concerted, coordinated effort by the moneyed and religious right.

        Example 8,237 of why letting a handful of companies dominate local broadcasting, national media and regional broadband is kind of a bad idea.

        I get that ordinary people might not have paid attention, but it was impossible for anyone watching not to notice what the @GOP was doing, so no, reporters and news media don’t get a “they didn’t see it coming” pass on this. They abetted it.

        Read Democracy in Chains and Dark Money. It is all clear but too many reporters treat it as a game.

        Most reporters are entertainers hired more for looks than talent. It’s about ratings and selling ads. Damn the 24 hour news channels
