It's called "earned media" for a reason
100% true. Democrats can drive media coverage if they want.
And if Democrats don‘t seek to do that the media won’t cover their issues on their own.

There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence.
Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Going to put "Bluesky: 85% gifted kid burn outs" on mugs, hats, tshirts, etc.
The only way to be good at something is to be bad at it first, a truism that we all repeat and this site of like 85% gifted kid burn outs refuses to instantiate.
