- as in not having a good, appealing message. I do know when the MSM is all owned by the m/billionaire class that the Dems cannot get their message to the swing voters and middle class viewers of the MSM.
So instead of putting the message out and having the MSM broadcast it, they have to try and coordinate their message to umpteen lesser viewed outlets, and hope the message can get through to the swing voters and middle class.
