They won't have to - their friends in the media will do it all for them. Did you see Fox News Sunday this week? It already started there.
Do you know how many people watch Fox News Sunday(maybe 4 million out of a population of 280 million)? And probably 90% of those people think that CFR is no big deal.
Anyway if the press goes after it is a tactic to split the base and I can ignore the hypocrisy of the NYT and WP, especially when their message is directed at me, the conservative base.
