Cokey Roberts - you're missing the big story!

[hedgehog]

This morning on NPR, Cokey was discussing how all the Republicans are following instructions and hitting the same talking points. The real story here, who is issuing the talking points? Who pays that person?

1. Luntz?

2. She has now absorbed 1% of what everyone else already knows

That woman is a complete waste of time. Never had any useful insight in her life. You would do just as well with a tape recorder collecting the conventional Beltway "wisdom" of the day.

There is quite an irony in her mentioning talking points, because as far as I can tell, talking points is all she does.

[House of Roberts]

3. Being on message is new to Cokie?

This has been SOP in the GOP for about 20 years.

4. Cokie and Mara Liason

well, hell, Steve Innskeep is pretty useless also. But Cokie has always been a right winger and Liason works for Fox News.

5. Both parties issue talking points regularly.

Nothing to see here. Everyone knows that it's just B.S. to deflect from Christie.

6. But who in either party determines and/or approves the talking points?

How is that person selected?

8. I would assume that it's the party's chair and his flunkies.

7. The answer is right under Kochie's nose

10. You got that right

"The answer is right under Kochie's nose"

9. I am very disappointed with NPR lately.

I can't say it is their fault entirely, but...
It is just sad.

11. Not NPR anymore, KPR

KPR (Koch Public Radio)

12. That is depressing...

I Loved NPR.

Perhaps some of it is my fault for stopping my membership a little less than 2 years ago.

13. Don't feel bad

You probably never could have competed with the plutocrats. They're buying everything and it's not even a dent in their mega bank accounts.

[Xyzse]

14. No, I know that...

Just feel let down.
