Q: Why are Democrats so quick to accuse their opponents of all manner of 'It Won't Play In Cleveland' conduct?
A: Because it's what they know best from their own personal experience in it.
The Republicans are just being Republicans, quaking in terror of the NYT calling them nasty names.
It's not just the New York times, it's the entire media monster. All of the networks are part of a massive media weapon designed to keep the Washington money spigot flowing.
These media organizations are owned and controlled by people who's best interests lie in keeping the Washington spending party borrowing and spending.
The media have the power to manipulate elections, and that is precisely why they do what they do. It's about power. It's about continuing the power in the hands of those people who have it now, most of whom live in the North Eastern corner of the nation.
The media is a tool to keep that power, and they use it against anyone who threatens that power.
