Hate to burst this Dinocon bubble that the Know Nothings keep screaming but there IS no “bully pulpit” when the Press is out and out propagandizing for the other side. Time you Dinosaurs get off your 1970s Political Science dogmas and try actually living in the real world.
President goes out an gives a speech every week. WHAT is the coverage. Maybe a couple hours of actually broadcasting the Presidents words then it either disappears off the Media OR they spend ALL their time going to his foes to have them respond to his words. OR they go out and have their tame “experts” on to spend all their time being hyper critical of the President.
There IS no Bully Pulpit. NOT even among the so called “Conservative” media who merely pick up what ever the “Drive By Media” is talking about and regurgitates it.
As long as we have a “News” media that doesn’t even pretend to be “objective” the President HAS no “bully pulpit.
So how about the rabid Know Nothing quit mindlessly regurgitating the stupid slogans from Democrat Campaign Contributors pretending to be “Conservative Talk Radio Host” and start living in the REAL world?
Better keep your eyes squeezed tightly closed and your fingers in your ears so you won’t notice you have been and are being sold out. And don’t forget to keep shouting it’s all the other side’s fault.
