It grows more difficult to separate truth from lies every day. Sue Mehrtens and I wrote a book on the topic a couple of years ago [Credible]. So, when I saw David Kurtz explanation of how the GOP attack strategy will evolve and how the spin masters will seek to put the Democrats on the defensive I recognized that he is on to something that should be shared and understood by us all.
More than a decade ago, the book “The Fox Effect” demonstrated how Fox could plant a sensational news story that forced less biased media to pivot and give coverage to stuff that should have been ignored.
The dark art of playing the media has, if anything, grown more dark and insidious. Read Kurtz’s essay from Talking Points Memo and become even more savvy in your critical thinking skills.
