20. "PR doesn't actually depend on controlling the media."
Sun Oct 26, 2025, 05:15 PM
Sunday

It DOES because the media has set their OWN rules and THEY are the "megaphone", and those "rules" are to favor GOP loons.

When Democrats hold a press conference out on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, good luck finding any M$M covering it and if they do, they might give it a passing mention on their broadcasts or on their websites. The only ones who are pretty much guaranteed to cover them is CSPAN.

And when Democrats go on these podcasts to "message", DU whines about "click bait".

When Democrats spend millions on ads on various social media, DU whines about "I don't use 'social media' so since I didn't 'see it', it didn't happen and Democrats aren't 'messaging'.

What it takes for me each day going through over 3 dozen news sites to find stuff, is a case in point - much of it with fake "published" date time-stamps that appear days after the claimed publication date/time that I *know* weren't linked to on their sites at the purported date/times.

Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.
