I tend to forget this too

Just heard Thom Hartmann reiterate something that REP. Mark Pocan has mentioned often. The Democrats hold a press conference every day. Yet, rarely does anything they say make it on the corporate news, whereas the republican lie of the day will receive full coverage. Even PBS & NPR fall into this.
I still think the democrats need to do a much better job of political theater, but I will admit that we just don’t have the sound machine that the Republicans do.
