i honestly believe much of the fox news formula would work for liberal-left leaning news. attractive people, whiz bang graphics, us vs them messaging etc. humans are humans and it all works. (and no this is not an endorsement of lying, its simplification…

fox news makes the news exciting. they have lots of swooshes and bangs and they present the news with attractive, sexy presenters. they tell the viewers that everything that sucks in their lives are the faults of THESE PEOPLE and if they just keep watching…

"it isnt the job of house/senate leadership to..." i dont agree with this construction - it sounds like weak shit defense -- but even if it is honest, these jobs change. you dont operate in congress in 2025 like you would in 1925 or 1825. this is an…

The thing with people like Olivia Nuzzi and Jake Tapper and Maggie Haberman is they’re all in journalism club and this operates just like high school where people praise the cool people cause they want to be them or at least be in their orbit

Someone actually criticized my criticism of Democratic leadership as not understanding that two “New Yorkers” don’t help inserting themselves into issues. Blue MAGA mindset is wild. Jeffries/Schumer home state has little to nothing to do with all this.…

I legitimately find it amazing that people don’t think the job of house and senate leadership is communicating, and that all they should be doing is whipping votes and writing bills. Without a consensus president in my view communicating is key to their…

if u see a bit of media you think is important - a link, a video, a meme -- one of the best things you can do is share it. too many on the liberal side think "everyone has seen this already." i guarantee you they havent. this is still the best way we have…

Democrats keep electing toothless lawyers to federal office and this is the result. People who simply cannot say “the light is red” when sitting in front of a red light. Instead Democrats rhetorically ask if anyone can explain why the light appears red and…
