Hey Lisa Blunt Rochester, How About an Investigation into the Media Black Out on Climate Change ?

Lisa, We all know that you aren't in congress to ruffle any feathers. You are just keeping your head down and waiting for Carper to kick the bucket. You've been very candid about that. We get it. But there are some issues that enjoy wide support that you can get use to help your constituents (HI!) while helping build your bi-partisan bona-fides. Climate Change for example. Media Matters reports that "despite the destructive power of Hurricane Dorian, broadcast TV news aired just one segment from August 28 through September 5 that mentioned the links between climate change and hurricanes like Dorian. CBS ran the only segment, while ABC and NBC both failed to air a single segment linking climate change to the development and destruction of Dorian." That's 216 segments on Dorian and just one mentioned climate change. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Get some earned media. I know you don't NEED it given your strategy of just hanging around and waiting to be elevated to the senate on the smoke from Carper's funeral pyre - but the country NEEDS it. Your Delaware constituents NEED it. That should count for something.

The Smoking Sharpie – Day 3

"Who sharpied the poster?" Sharpie-gate! It may be just stupid enough for our shallow, idiotitic DC press corps to obssess over. And when you add that to the fact that Trump is a fucking asshole who can't back down on anything (because he thinks the whole shit-covered edifice will come crashing down if he admits one stupid thing). You get a media jackpot. Here is Sean Hannity is full spaz-out mode:
