What Coordinated Messaging Looks Like

The Left does this “Meme of the Day” trick all the time, but I thought this example (via Memeorandum) was particularly obvious: House Republicans Strip Protections From LGBT Victims In New Violence Against Women Act — Think Progress Top Dems Reject House GOP’s Violence Against Women Act: ‘Simply Unacceptable’ — Talking Points Memo VAWA 2013: House GOP […]

Progressive Tax-Exempt Group’s Secret Plan to ‘Eviscerate,’ ‘Cripple’ GOP

Blueprint NC is “a nonprofit that coordinates the activities of liberal-leaning nonprofits” in North Carolina and when this 501(c) group’s communications director Stephanie Bass forwarded a strategy memo to member organizations, she included a disclaimer: “CONFIDENTIAL to Blueprint, so please be careful — share with your boards and appropriate staff, but not the whole world.” Oops. The memo […]
