Continuing with the meeting described in post 0001 as part of the media conspiracy to take down a sitting President of the United States. So far we covered Media Matters plan to silence conservative voices in Post 0002. Now it’s time to look at what American Bridge brought to the table in the meeting.
Touting themselves as “The political research engine of the opposition,” American Bridge announced they already had staff hired, Donald Trump’s businesses mapped out and a massive video archive to use.
They also mention:
“Our purpose is to keep Trump unpopular and make it more difficult for candidates who support him to get elected in 2018.”
and
“The mid-term map appears difficult for Democrats; damaging Trump in the next two years could change that.”
In the next four years, American bridge is focused on the following outcomes:
Defeat Trump either through impeachment or at the ballot box in 2020.
Change the balance of power by measurably impacting US Senate, gubernatorial, and state legislative races.
Free ourselves from solely relying on the press. Our robust digital program will reach voters directly online.
Further on:
American Bridge will sustain a nonstop campaign against Trump, his administration, and Republicans who enable him.
They later explain their 2017 budget is $14.7 million to cover it’s operations and a Super PAC with a staff of 146 people. They also plan to create an anti-Trump war room of 25 researchers and a communication team of 16 people to feed their information to the press, do rapid response to unfavorable stories and have six folks as dedicated media monitors.
Media Matters signs up to aggressively attack and silence conservative voices.
American Bridge signs up to provide opposition research and use it to:
1. Feed negative stories to the press
2. Monitor media for unfavorable news and information
3. Provide rapid response (damage control) to counter the unfavorable news and information.
Did their non-stop plan to seed news programs with negative stories succeed?
If you didn’t notice over 90% of Donald Trump’s news coverage was negative since he announced he was running for President, you may have been asleep.
