As far as the shell game... After the initital hullaboo with the Bundies...

It hit me how Reid's high profile worked to bring exposure of the Kochs, which the GOP whined about, but got national air time...

Then came the media circus. It all came at once like a squad of players to do a pass on a football field. Every time they want a diversion from truth or anything good one, it's all coordinated.

Same buzz words, tone, same days. That is not CT, it's known from meetings they have weekly for their script. The meetings are not a secret.

The people from radio, television, magazines and papers meet and get their marching orders. So few venues are independent now with consolidation.

The message is amplified so it is heard in every corner to give it urgency. As if it's a crisis. 90% of the news is not news, it's a product to influence people who will or will not vote from what they see. RF101. We see it here too, it's everywhere.

As soon as any positive momentum starts to build from what Obama or Dems do, the screechers start on some crisis. It diverts people off the positive and people only recall the manufactured rage and danger. No time to reflect on what is being done.

Re: Reid, NV and the Bundies, people forgot altogether what Reid and Sanders were revealing to public. All they saw was what media sent cameras to cover. The roving eye and the nonstop lie.

Just like the border hysteria. There is nothing going on down there substantially different from what has gone on at other times.

Media does not give air time to what Obama is doing to follow laws at the border, although some liberals don't like it. When he expresses a human feeling and states what is going on, the left and the right cherry pick his words and go after him and in all things this benefits the Kochs.
