Thanks for the link! Will read tomorrow. Newt is the fount of much of the garbage, lying, distraction, etc going on. He also understood the importance of messaging and controlling the narrative by means fair or foul (mostly foul). Dems need to get the messaging going, because they have a powerful message. (I assume you saw TCinLA 's post earlier today.) Time to get rolling...... Thanks for your many insights here and elsewhere.
I follow TCinLA with a growing sense of awe. The guy is an encyclopedia wed to a super computer. Perhaps the Dems should find him a spot on their "messaging team". His spicy fireballs of wit are amazing. His fact based reviews of history stun me.
Hello Bill Only way I know to communicate--here is a story you may have seen--plays into your HCR post on TV/news/media----a friend forwarded it to me: EZRA KLEIN

Not very comforting in terms of media and the mind, so to speak.

The lies have already killed millions. Among them was my father who died of COVID and conspiracy thinking.
