I remember newt being heavily involved in faxing talking points to regurgitate to the masses. In those days at least the cable news would have more of a balance of guests from both parties, now it’s mostly the gop that gets invited. Hence why our media has done a disservice to the American people.

And hence why we are so ill informed. It’s by design!
