Should the DNC start doing real-time rapid response to GOP lies on everything?

[egbertowillies]

I think we must. Stephanie Ruhle and Jonathan Alter touch on a subject that while the DNC should heed, we as Democrats can do our part IMHO.

1. They should have been doing this all along.

The Repukes had too much leeway to spew their hate/misinformation.

Probably a situation of shutting the barn door after the horse has escaped, though.

2. No kidding. The GOP has an in-place, operable, full time lie-machine irunning 24/7 it seems.

Meanwhile we seem to have a catch as catch can approach to responding -- as opposed to a strategic, well orchestrated effort. Why is that?

4. Absolutely yes.

3. I believe the bigger issue for dems to call out is when Fox or other RW media

Ignores or negatively twists messages from Dems. Fair and balanced my ass.
And convincing some of our stupidest cousins to change the damn station.

8. Well one starting point could and should be is that no Democrat will go on Fox News including

the next Democrat to win the Presidency.
In other words Fox and the other RW supposed news agencies need to be treated like pariahs as all they do is lie, twist and deceive.

6. ABsolutely yes

That was an Obama campaign hallmark. They drove the agenda by being out in front of everything.

7. Yes.

The answer is pretty much a no-brainer, but.......... where is the rapid response team? Don't allow the reich-wing to control the narrative, on anything!

9. I'm afraid it doesn't help

When Fox will just disregard any "rapid response" team. I think, reluctantly, Dems have to go on Fox to argue their points. If they don't, they give Fox total free rein to disregard anything and everything.

Better to talk to the enemy than engage in warfare.
