(44,117 posts)- cable and network news media that will cover up for Romney and pretend he is a credible candidate
- cable and network news media that serves as an amplifier for Republican lies rather than fact-checking them
- cable and network news media that misrepresents the positions of Obama and Democrats
(I will note that the media's strategy fell apart in 08. They gave endless positive coverage to McCain and negative coverage to Obama. However once McCain made the statement that "The fundamentals of the economy are sound," they could no longer cover up for McCain)
and there there is
- unlimited Koch Bros type money to swiftboat Obama and democratic candidates 24/7
Obama etc will push back hard on this shit. News Media won't cover the pushback, they'll just give free airtime to Rove's crossroads by endlessing showing their ads during cable talk shows.
Romney's entire primary campaign was about driving up the negatives of his opponents. "Look, that guy is worse than me." This is their strategy going forward. Lie about Obama and engage in character assassination.
Even though I am physically and emotionally tired as hell, I am going to do everything I can to GOTV.
