Complete scumbags... No accountability on abetting the destruction of our democracy, and only one heroic Substacker (Judd) calling them out.

I so wish the Democrat party leadership would support this reporting and promote the sharp descrepency between the GOP and Democrats. Today's news is mostly dominated by unfathomable "compromise" on financial amounts of the infrastructure effort, which is too arcane to be a framework for supporting the Democrats.

Is it just me or do others think that the Democrats need better messaging? And, if so, is that by design?

Run a commercial on NBC (Prime Time) that more or less televises Judd's eloquent presentation.

*******************************************************************************************

"Shortly after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, which was motivated by Trump's lies about election fraud, Comcast — the parent company of NBC Universal — released the following statement:

The peaceful transition of power is a foundation of America’s democracy. Consistent with this view, we will suspend all of our political contributions to those elected officials who voted against certification of the electoral college votes, which will give us the opportunity to review our political giving policies and practices.

This was significant, especially because Comcast was the second-largest donor among corporate PACs to the 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the election. In the 2020 cycle, Comcast donated $755,000 to 95 Republican objectors. "

NBC will need to decide to run the ad or be faced with news about refusing the ad.

This strategy was used recently by the PAC Meidastouch. They approached Fox News to run an add about the insurrection. Fox refused to run the ad and very quickly news of the refusal went viral. The ad eventually ran on other networks.

This strategy can be used again:

- Run ad with Judd's presentation

- Pay (or try to pay) NBC to run the ad

- If NBC refuses to run the ad, post news of the refusal to other news services and social media

- Run the ad on other networks

As Meidastouch has operated with this strategy before maybe they would be interested in a replay with NBC.
