Republican Party? Drain the right-wing media swamp.

[Theowl32]

Donald Trump looks likely to get awhupping (or, to use his preferred Yiddishism, schlonging) in a few weeks.Forecasts suggest many of his down-ballot co-partisans will as well.

No doubt, should this expected defeat come to pass, Republican leadership will try to regroup and figure out what went wrong.

Want to save the Republican Party? Drain the right-wing media swamp.

Just in case you want to know what the marxists are planning.

Outlawing conservative speech. It just is not enough that the left own 95% of media sources, educational system and nearly all of the entertainment industry.

That 5% of media that voices a conservative point of view needs to be outlawed.

Oh, they will of course use the racism theme (weapon ) to get it their way.

Yeah, cause freedom of speech actually meant banning political points of view.

Welcome folks.

If they don't want their racism used against them, then they shouldn't be so racist.

its a good article?

It is, after all, the right-wing radio, TV and Internet fever swamps that have gotten them into this mess, that have led to massive misinformation, disinformation and cynicism among Republican voters. And draining those fever swamps is the only way to get them out of it.

For a sense of just how misinformed Republican voters have become, consider a few of the provably wrong things many believe.

Seven in 10 Republicans either doubt or completely disbelieve that President Obama was born in the United States. Six in 10 think he’s a secret Muslim. Half believe global warming is possibly or definitely a myth concocted by scientists.


Among just Trump voters, 7 in 10 believe government economic data are fabricated. Half don’t trust that votes will be counted accurately in the November election.

Further, some fraction — though to my knowledge, as yet unmeasured — apparently believes presidential elections are determined by Instagram followers. All hail President Selena Gomez!

Republicans and Trump backers didn’t come to these conclusions independently. They learned them from the influential TV, radio and Web outfits whose imprimaturs Republican politicians desperately seek, and whose more troubling content these politicians have been reluctant to criticize.

Limbaugh started it, and now right wing radio and internet have their fingerprints all over this mess.

They have to deny it, of course, but they have to know what they've done.

Their fans have convinced themselves that we won't notice them using all the same words, phrases and thought processes as their heroes.

The article nails it:

That is, they need to dismantle the media machine persuading their base to believe completely bonkers, bigoted garbage.

Yep.

The rubes keep getting back in line to be lied to by their propaganda outlets. It is fricking scary how machine-like they go about it.

Righties have Fox News.

Just continue to create your own media networks.

Since the 1980's, the GOP has begun to create their own "think tanks", like the AEI etc....

Just create your own reality and forget about the MSM.

You'll never turn the MSM into Conservative entities

We would have wiped the floor with Clinton and Obama if we stuck to the truth and facts. Obama would have disappeared in a puff of smoke. Hillary would have melted like the witch she is.

If a guy like Obama beats you, TWICE, those losses are telling you more about yourself than him.
