This email--Fallon learning via former colleagues a very public fact--is an example. It's not NEWSWORTHY but might be good sausage moment.

A lot more of the "retail" language in politics is the same. The language is not pretty. But at some level competent campaigns get into data

So while some of this might be interesting, absent the lesson in how sausage is made, it gets blown out of proportion if made "news."

Still mildly weird that the reporters profess to be surprised by any of this.

Reporters have really narrow beats. While some of the campaign ones have worked campaigns, not all have.
