This Scott Walker story is interesting, I mean aside from the obvious reason of the liberal media, as with Christie, once again spinning a narrative that is either falsely twisted and inflated or utterly untrue in order to kill off a promising GOP candidate and further prepare the way for the coronation of Hillary - that's all juicy and disturbing stuff - but I'm thinking rather about how do conservatives push back against this corruption of the media and unwind these debilitating narratives? That's the key - going on FOX and complaining about it does nothing for you - you have to find a way to replace the false narrative with not only the true one, but with a narrative that also makes clear what the corruption is and why the average person should be troubled by it. How you do that without benefit of the media is the trick republicans need to learn and learn well - because although this bias has been with us a long time it has gotten profoundly worse under Obama and we're gonna see the same thing with the attempt to crown Hillary - no lie will be too big to tell nor no narrative so false that it can't be spun in some way in service to the great cause. Republicans need to come up with effective, effective counter measures - just going on FOX or Rush or whatever does little for you because that does nothing to replace, subvert the the offending narrative when it comes to the average voter who in general is not paying a lot of attention or going too deeply into things.
