Question: Since none of you practice the approach promoted by Ben Shapiro about dealing with the media: what do you think of these techniques and those generally promoted by Breitbart et al? Are they effective? If Republican nominees practiced such things are you skeptical they could make headway in this way.
It’s obvious that the present approach is not working — the media has become more biased over the decades not less. This bias must be dealt with. Do you agree? Or should we just shuffle along?
Do any of you three guys listen to the Member’s podcasts i.e. the Audio Meetup and the new “The Ricochetti” podcast?
Still think you should name the podcast Spoiler Alert.
At 7:30AM Pacific Time, I’m on my “rolling production meeting” walk-around, being as knowledgable as possible. Maybe discuss how most conservatives are productive members of society and often don’t have much free time for protests, etc.
Topic: Lisa Jackson’s secret email at EPA
1. Is it actually true that conservatism needs more full-time activists, comparable to liberal efforts? (Or is that assumption about liberal activism even accurate?)
2. If so, would it be correct to consider this a failure of conservatism? Not the complete failure of all conservatism of course, but a particular failure.
Lots of recent news about Obamacare–the CBO’s recent update on its costs, unions’ second thoughts, revisions to the HHS mandate, and Medicaid expansion. It’s a problematic law, but do conservatives have anything better to offer? Where do conservatives even begin?
What do you think if the TV shows last nan standing, Vegas, Parenthood and The Good Wife. I like the female characters in all of them. Any idea who will “win” The Bachelor this season (joking).
Hey yeti: I’m having trouble downloading glop and the most recent flagship podcast off itunes. it starts then stops. Is it me?
